# Hi,

# I get the error "command not found" when I type "iptables". I know I
compiled every "net" option in the kernel (choosed y). What am I doing
wrong? Not much to go on, I know....
You need to get the "iptables" package as well; the 'iptables' command
doesn't come with the kernel.
# Also what does "make modules" do, does it create an image like "make
bzImage"? I have 2 comps running linux at home: a 1Ghz t-bird and a
p166. Compiling on the p166 is painfully long. I would like to compile
everything on the 1Ghz and then transfer the bzImage and the "modules
image" (if there is one, following make modules) to the p166 and make
modules_install there. Is that possible? Or would I need to make dep on
both comps, make bzImage on the 1ghz, transfer the image and make
modlues and make modules_install on the p166?
You have to be sure the kernel you compile is compiled for you target
computer(ie: in 'make xconfig' or whatever you use, CPU Type is set to
"Pentium").
Aside from that, make modules_install copies all the modules to
/lib/modules/<kernel-version>. So if you copy that directory over to
your target computer, that should work(assuming it's compiled properly
for the target CPU).
