Can anyone help me update my iptables?? I am using Mandrake 9.1 I have downloaded the correct files from netfilter.org but stumble across some problems.

>>Here is the install notes
1) Next, make the package.
% make KERNEL_DIR=<<where-you-built-your-kernel>>

2) Finally, you need to to install the shared libraries, and the binary:
# make install KERNEL_DIR=<<where-you-built-your-kernel>>
>>
My Questions are as follows,
Im building a kernel??
Or does it want the location of mine?

I really dont know what to do, freaking MS has poisoned my brain and my vision

This is my first week of Mandrake 9.1 , so pardon the newbie-ness

Thank you all for your time.

With all this kernel talk,
