Shorewall is a nice but when you have to build a firewall for network which has 150+ users and 15+ classes of users that won't do. bccz> I haven't seen the menu problem on my cooker box, so I don't agree.

Many of us do, and that is one reason bccz> why it *is* actually worthwhile. O now you really got me going. Well let see. I few years ago I needed postfix with mysql support. postfix in mandrake didn't have it. I downloaded srpm and found that mysql was in but switch in spec file wasn't activated. It took quite a while for a new package to appear. Even one security update was released but the switch wasn't activated. Once more i had to build it myself. What's the big deal? I had to avoid using automatic update procedure since it would break my mail server. Next: The same time I needed cyrus-imapd but no mandrake didn't have it. Strange it was in 7.0/7.1. let me check. I pull from the closet my old powerpacks and see that cyrus imapd was inside. Ok again the same thing. I make a cyrus-imapd rpm. Test it for a few days. everything is ok. After 2 years it's still working happily. After some time I clean that spec file and send it cooker list. Just wonted to help out. Nobody cares. 2 years later cyrus-imapd still is not in standard set. I wasted all of my votes on it as so many others did but nobody listens to us. The newest msn chat client or some other crap is probably more important. Next: a couple of posts concerning bugs missing functionality etc. all passed by nobody cared. Next: mandrakeclub been a member since it was made. It wasn't worth the money but still I'm a member. Why ? because I want to help. It looks like nobody cares. bccz> Oh yes, of course you should always read the errata before installing. And bccz> maybe someone needs to add the menu issue to it for now. How is errata being built. Some user has complained that that is not working. Lets look at a sample of current errata. At the end of install update is not possible. Reality check - nobody bothered to check. Really ugly. Fix : "Format a floppy disk with a DOS filesystem (in Linux, you can use the command "mkdosfs /dev/fd0"). Copy patch.pl to the floppy disk. Remove the floppy and reboot using the Mandrake Linux 9.2 CD1 to do a CD-ROM installation. During boot, press F1 at the splash screen, then place your floppy disk that contains patch.pl in the floppy drive. At the prompt, type "patch", then follow the installation as usual." Now i have to carry a floppy with me. How inconvenient.
