Thanks, Ken. I've been able to download the smoothwall since last posting
and will read up on it before I untar it. I understand that it will wipe a
drive as there is no partition options during installation, designed for a
small dedicated HD on the Firewall machine, I expect. I'll be bringing a
spare 500 and an 800mb HD with me for that purpose.
I think I'll put this smoothwall on a ZIP disk and hold it until I get to
OZ.
I have Bastille on my Linux/Windoze box and have it set as best as I can
understand the reactive installation. Probably does some good for my
dial-up.
Regards,
PS Really woulkd like to be at Granville on Sunday.
PPS Not sure about the protocol. What we do on ELUG (Edmonton Linux
Users Group) is reply to the LIST and sometimes send an individual a
direct email when appropriate
