Another possibility, and a whole lot easier to configure and manage, is "Smoothwall GPL", from www.smoothwall.org. You download their ISO image, burn it to a CD, and boot it. It formats your hard drive (so don't do a test boot on a machine you care about!!!!!!!), installs itself, takes you through some configuration and voila, a firewall! A word of warning: some of the people at that organization have a bit of an attitude problem, but it is possible to work with them. Read the various stuff on their site and you'll see what I mean. nevertheless, it is a pretty good package, and I'm a happy user of it. Mine is on an old P90 wiht 40 megs RAM and a 3 gig hard drive. The hard drive is waaaaay bigger than necessary. A 1 gig, or even a 500 meg would serve fine. > disk by; > > DOS format a: /q > > Now install syslinux: > DOS syslinux a: > > Copy the minimum files to the disk: > > root.tgz > etc.tgz > log.tgz > linux > syslinux.cfg > syslinux.dpy > > But when it boots it says Could Not find Kernel image: linux > Boot: > > I do not follow am I supposed to have more files on the systems hard drive? > I am trying to install this on a clean drive. > > Rick > > > -----Original Message----- > From: William Warren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, December 15, 2002 12:38 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Linux and Older Computers > > On Sun, Dec 15, 2002 at 11:39:06AM -0600, RedHat wrote: > > I have some older computers the oldest being a 386 and I have a copy of > > Linux 6.0.
