Hi Im new to Linux and I found out about http://bridge.sf.net from a magazine 
that I subscribe to. It explains everything about setting it up bridges, but 
not how to install the package from the site. I ran ./configure, which went 
fine, and I tried to run ./install-sh, but it keeps asking for a destination. 
Currently Im running FC3 and I know the kernel is 2.6 or highter on FC3 so 
shouldn't the patch be added by default? Please help.

Thanks,
Clark

In almost all new distro's the bridging is already compiled in the kernel and the utilities are available in the package management system as bridge-utils. This is true for Redhat based distro's like Fedora as well as SuSe, Debian and Gentoo. So you should be able to setup
a bridge with the brctl command without any additional special effort.


Also, the 2.6 distributions like Fedora have the Ethernet Bridge
tables (ebtables) for firewall support as well.
