Just a couple of points to add.
1) Re: rc.firewall - I'm currently using KMyFirewall to configure iptables, it has bundled in NAT / Masquerading settings (ICS in MSWin terms) and seems quite nice. Grc.com reports stealth mode for all ports at least and I can surf from either my Slack box or the eth0 connected WinXP. I previously used Guarddog too (which has a companing called Guidedog for NAT, etc.). 2) You can nmap a localhost (eg 127.0.0.1). Try it with and without your firewall, just do "iptables -F" to remove all rules, then run rc.firewall again to re-enable. 3) Just getting back in to KDE and so am using KlamAV with ClamAV as it integrates with Kmail (as do Sophos and F-prot I think). HTH somebody. pbhj |

I was looking around their (FBSD) site and stumbled across the 6.1 Release ISO's. Now I am installing 6.1, so that should take care of my KDE problem. :D I let the installer set up the partitions so I know how the layout is suppose to look, then I adjust them to my liking. Nothing worst than setting up a 512K var (tmp?) partition and have the install blow out just before the reboot prompt. I picked up FreeBSD at 5.4 it sets up just 4 partitions (slices) and a swap space (same with 6.0 and 6.1). A lot more neater. As far as booting goes, I kept and will always keep, a slackware partition, if anything for lilo. (That should keep us from getting bounced to the BSD forums. :) -JJ |

The only thing with clam-av that I noticed, and it's probably becuase it is a highly used program, and they are very free with information and disclose their errors publicly, I notice that many of the upgrades that they give to the clam-av itself is for buffer *runs, leaks, etc. And I have to learn more about uninstall reinstall in linux first more before I use that solely as my desktop virus app. They have a lot of patches, etc it appears for the AV application itself. Have you been able to get the real-time virus scanning going with clam-av? using the Dazuko module? |

The mutagenix guys have actually asked to reform my repository so that it is slapt-get friendly (they want my packages as one of their repositories in Mutagenix installer apparently), that's why you now see all the extra files. So, I'll have a look at their gparted gui. Should be applicable to any Slackware box without modifications as far as I understand. Eric |
Very nice to hear. That mutagenix has a permanent spot on my desk these days, it really is a nice cd to boot up on, and fix if I broke something and cant get into X or to a cli. I also had a buddy of mine try it as first time to linux he like it alot, your packages will truly help them out.
The only thing with mutagenix that I see as negative is they run you as root, with networking and everyone says that is bad. Other than that mutagenix is awesome. |
Oh and regarding the player, it would be nice if the 'noobed' it up a little.
