After installing slack10 on a server, few basic questions


I installed slackware and now some things bother me:

1) The box I installed slack10 lately, routes net to other machines and it has two network cards. Both LAN. The slack installation detected only 1 (same with doing netconfig later), and I have to configure the other one's IP address and similar. I have forgotten how to do that, preferably, slackware to do it all at boot. Would those be some ifconfig commands in rc.local? And which ones... I did man ifconfig and ifconfig --help but didnt come with clear example. And yes, slackware detects both of the cards.

2) Thats not really connected to slackware, but why is that:
Code:
/dev/hdd              184G   35G  140G  20% /root/test
The HDD is 200GB and not only it sais 184, but some others are lost, if we add used+available (35+140). No space is reserved for any user.

3) Can someone there reccomend a good firewall script for cable modem (and not only, as long as its good). Thanks for all positive responses.

This thread discusses the discrepancies in adding up disk space.

Look at /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf file. You can do your second (and first or any other) nic configurations there.
