Hi Tom, No, or at least not at the moment; only the "full" variants. The "lite" variants need an installation of the "full" variant on another machine on the internal network, don't they, to act as a management console? I can see the benefit of that approach, especially when there are multiple firewalls to manage, though it feels like an "advanced" deployment model rather than something that every user will want/need. Maybe we should look to package the "lite" variants as well as the "full" variants, though I definitely think we should retain the self-contained, everything-on-the-firewall option for people who don't mind having Perl on their firewall. davidMbrooke ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
