The problem you're having is that when you download via apt-get source you're getting the source used to make the package. Debian packages all have custom version numbers since they apply distro patches to all their distributions. Try using the iptables source from netfilters home page and I bet this wont happen. >Hi, > >I'm new to patch-o-matic. > >I downloaded the 2.4.28 kernel from ftp.kernel.org >I downloaded iptables 1.2.6a via apt-get source iptables >I downloaded path-o-matic-20041125.tar.bz2. > >I unpacked all those archives in /usr/src. >when running ./runme in patch-o-matic I get the following error: > Your iptables version is unknown for patch-o-matic at ./runme line 214 > >What can I do about it? which version should I use? > >-- >Marc
