Yes, zless it quite handy. There's also a bzless, bzcat set for bzipped files, also. /usr/share/doc/<packagename> is quite useful, especially if it's a question about packaging. If I'm not mistaken, it's a Debian Policy requirement that a package provides this directory, and, again, I'm not 100% positive, but that it also includes a changelog.Debian file. Also, there is sometimes a quite extensive addition to the documentation found here, too. And iptables is one of them - check out the stuff in the html directory. Point your browser at /usr/share/doc/html/<either of the files with no number>. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
