Re: 2.4 kernel for SUNstation 20
All your queries are valid, so I'll add some more detail... I know linux, but really only on i386 - sparc newbie alert! ;-) I've got woody running fine but want to use iptables before I put my machine on the web, hence the query. You could just use ipchains. Syntax is a little different IIRC but the core functionality is the same. I got another reply suggesting kernel-image-2.4.26-sparc32, which I have just found on unstable (Is this the pre-release version of sarge?), is this a good recommendation? If the problem is I want to be able to firewall the box to put it on the net then no, I recommend using ipchains - this is the path of least change / hassel. If the problem is I want a 2.4 series kernel on this here SparcStation 20 then it's not a bad recommendation. Personally I'd look in testing first: http://packages.debian.org/testing/base/kernel-image-2.4.24-sparc32 If you have time to play around then I'm sure the testing team would love another report that http://packages.debian.org/testing/debian-installer/kernel-image-2.4.24-sparc32-di works fine :-) HTH Sweet Dreams, - Martin -- Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Seasons change, things come to pass

He he, one of our largest firewalls separating a network of more than 1000 IP devices from the internet runs 2.0.40 kernel with ipchains support. So if your concern is just a single machine, ipchains will surely do fine :) If you have time to play around then I'm sure the testing team would love another report that http://packages.debian.org/testing/debian-installer/kernel-image-2.4.24-sparc32-di works fine :-) OK, if that is so appreciated, I must report, that 2.4.24-sparc32 and 2.4.26-sparc37 (from unstable) runs with no problems on my pizzaboxes (several SparcStations and SparcServers). :-) -- Jan Houstek
