Along that line, here is a copy of a message I posted to the Shorewall list this morning. -------------------------------------- I took down shorewall.net yesterday to upgrade the firewall and server to RH8. For those contemplating a similar upgrade, here is how it went: The upgrade of the firewall was an unqualified failure: a) Attempting to boot from the CD-ROM resulted in installer confusion shortly after loading the AIC7XXX driver (while loading the driver, the installer seems to forget which version of the ISO it is installing and complains of a version mis-match). b) I made and used a boot floppy and the installation proceeded a bit further, however this time Anaconda crashed. This has been reported by other persons attempting to upgrade. The upgrade of the server went somewhat better. After rebooting though, I discovered that: a) The Apache config files have changed substantially from 1.3->2.0 -- about an hour was spent hacking up the config to make 2.0 happy. b) Apache 2.0 no longer has a throttle module :-( c) Some of the Perl modules that I had previously installed seemed to wander away during the upgrade so I had to spend 15-20 minutes with CPAN to restore them. d) Postfix bounced a bunch of email because there was no /usr/sbin/sendmail for SpamAssassin to use to re-queue filtered mail (the installer didn't link sendmail->sendmail.postfix even though I don't have the sendmail package installed). --------------------------------------- These are the types of issues one normally encounters when installing a new major release so I wasn't particularly surprised. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy AIM: tmeastep \ http://www.shorewall.net ICQ: #60745924 \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
