Dunno. Cross-LFS and Paldo don't do anything different than us building Iptables. I suppose that we could look at other distro's and what they are doing. It sure would be nice if we could identify what those extra modules and extensions *do*, and why almost everyone else's Iptables installation seems okay without them (at least there's been no reports of breakage or folks needing them). -- 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] 11:28:00 up 28 days, 11:42, 1 user, load average: 0.22, 0.19, 0.22 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
