I'll check that out. It's just that the grub.conf mentions it, so I figured I could need to have one. > http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html Thanks! By the way, George Vieira gave me a couple of pointers. It turns out I already have iptables installed. The problem was that the firewall script was looking explicitly for "v1.2" when RH 7.2 has version 1.2.3, so a quick mod to their script to sed out anything after "v1.2" should keep me going for a few minor version changes :-). I do still have some issues because some of the lines of the script are generating errors saying something like "TOS not supported", so I have to track that down, but George has suggested to upgrade to whatever the lates iptables is, so I might just try that before worrying about it too much.
