You'll have to burn one.  There are instructions for making a new image in
the readme, which is easily downloaded from the CD-Contents (no need to d/l
the whole CD first!).  The fact that your CD probably won't need to be
bootable makes burning a new CD a WHOLE lot easier, as you won't have to
worry about boot-images, el-torito emulation modes, &c.

See the readme.  Basically, you just boot off the 1440K floppy image that
comes with the CD (I do this a lot when I'm testing, as updates to root are
a whole lot faster to test booting from floppy, and I already have enough
coasters :).

Same places as always.  Note the new rules have hooks for minor
customizations, or you can just pull the whole firewall ruleset out and
build your own.

Hmm...it's been so long since I switched my slink system to 2.2.x I've
forgotten.  Their used to be some HOWTO info on the Debian pages that
covered this.  I don't know if those pages have been 'harvested' or not, but
you can probably find mirrors or cached files via the search engines.
