Trouble with firestarter that it isnt a self contained package. Untidy. Did the install as a non root user and the install tries to put stuff in /etc. Difficult to uninstall unless you know where everything gets installed. Tried ./configure --prefix=/opt/firestarter but files still get put into /etc when you do make install. To would be a great product if all of the program gets installed into the directory specified by --prefix= Too Microsoftish...... --- Vidiot <brown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >I'm trying to set up my local network so that my RH9 box acts as a router > >between my LAN and the Internet via a DSL connection.
