Hello there,
the Mandrake security was not compiled with math co-processor emulation
for different reasons. Computers like 386s and some 486s are therefore not
supported for the moment but we may add this it in the future.
1. If you simply need a router without a Firewall, you might consider
using the Mandrake 8.0 distro wich has that feature.
2. the Squid http Proxy server and SquidGuard (Url, advertising filtering)
are included with some basic configurations.
3. http://mandrakesoft.com/~florin/pictures/firewall/ and
http://mandrakesoft.com/~florin/timerestriction.html
4. It has been released last Friday but we might add some minor fixes.
thank you,
and have a nice day,
