When configuring the 2.4.18 kernel that comes with LM 8.2, there is an option, something about working with high memory. Is this the option that I must enable? The .config file in /usr/src/linux, comes with the kernel source, or is produced after the installation of linux in my box?

For a while the whole project hung because apache couldn't resolve things (it has its own built-in resolver) until it was decided to allow trusting the external DNS from the ISP. DNS packets have all sorts of built-in tunnelling dodges which is why DNS is often run from chroot jails... I hand-tested SNF since until it was released it was a rather secretive project. It also makes no provision for a DMZ within the firewall. (That is, a zone of IP numbers within the firewall isolated from at least the outcgoing rules). MNF will be replacing it some time soon. I don't know if a DNS server will be allowed on it, but it will include _stateful_ firewalling which means that when a packet comes in it will be subjected to an expectedness test. Standard internet connection sharing does set up the DNS (forwarding) server, of course, but there is little way to make any significant change in SNF. People who griped about the lack of this or that feature soon found that hand-editing the usual config files did not work... (Those are reloaded from other files). It was really meant as a turnkey product highly configuiranle from the GUI supplied by a web browser on one of your local machines. Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I downloaded the binary and... Stop. There are no binaries. The only releases are source releases. Some people have made RPMs and DEBs of Ardour, and this was nice of them.
