I'm guessing that you mean 1.3.5 in the last sentence. However, I just compiled and installed the package (1.3.5) and as best as I can tell, everything seemed to build. There were only a couple of minor warnings during the building, and no messages during the install other than the files being installed. At this point, without something better to go on other than "found that some of the modules didn't compile properly and weren't available to use", it's going to be hard to break the package freeze. > I can provide tests and/or try to replicate if required - I am just > writing this from memory. If you could just identify what didn't work, that would be great. However, I don't really have any way of testing an IPTables installation right now, so I'm hesitant to update the book this late in the release cycle. Thoughts from others are welcome. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.26] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 16:19:01 up 27 days, 16:33, 1 user, load average: 1.31, 1.28, 0.85 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
