[ Also, please stop top-posting, respond at the bottom if you'd like my response. ] Okay, I believe I see the problem. We're not communicating properly. When you say can I 'download the vanilla kernel', what you _meant_ by that is (even though you didn't say it ... and possibly didn't know it! <g>): 1) You download the kernel _source_ from kernel.org 2) You config the kernel on your box 3) You compile it on your box 4) You reboot your machine with the new kernel What I was trying to say is I had to do the above before I could use POM, much less before I could compile IPTABLE's. I hope that helps. -pablo
