IPCOP is a very basic Linux version and all TUI based for setup. The worst
that you have to run is the setup.sh script that goes through and configures
the NIC's and such.  I wouldn't worry about the video card at all.

Make darned sure you have the most recent IPCOP release, of course (Shawn knows 
this better than most!) as there have been various exploits for EVERYTHING.

And follow their implementation recommendations related to turning SSH off (a 
VPN or tunnel is trivial to add); this is not optional.

I will try to be there to watch the fun...but might not be able to.

Yes, it is the same box, Kevin!  It does have a floppy drive, but I have 
no idea whether it still works.  Until lately, the box has been humming 
along nicely so I have had no need to do anything with it.

Didnt you do a network install of the current firewall software way back 
when?

KevinO wrote:
 farli wrote:
 OK - I will plan on being there with the computer, a monitor, and the kb!

 FYI, I use the firewall on a small network - two other computers - on a 
 dialup network!  This firewall is our only access to the internet.

 You guys (and girls) are great!

 If you are using the little white box that I think you are, it will not boot 
 from
 CD (even if opened up and an external drive connected), and has no floppy 
 either.
 
 There is a 34 pin connector for a floppy, accessible once the plastic shell is
 removed. By connecting an external floppy, a network (or CDROM) install can be
 performed.

Yes, installing first in another system and just moving the drive should work - 
might also want to choose a similar and video card for the base install box and

Geez! Its been so long that I dont even remember how to find out what
the hard drive is!
   
Pentium 200 with no USB, so the drive is almost certainly and IDE 
 drive.
It's for a firewall, so pretty well any old IDE drive at this point 
 will
be large enough to hold the necessary OS.
   
ciao,

   Sounds like we might want to do as Shawn suggested then. I'll have a
   spare PC we can connect/mount the IDE drive in, then install from CD,
   then move the IDE drive back to its home and run setup. I'm assuming we
   can remove/reinstall the HDD in whatever boxen this is.

Yes, bring them if you can. Monitors are sometimes hard to come by.
Please let us know when you'll be there for sure, then I'll bring a 
spare CD drive or 2 and ribbons etc to do the install. I have an IPCop 
1.4.18 disc as well. 1.4.20 is the newest disc (they didn't cut a disc 
for 1.4.21 IIRC).

 OK - I will plan on being there with the computer, a monitor, and the kb!
 
 FYI, I use the firewall on a small network - two other computers - on a 
 dialup network!  This firewall is our only access to the internet.
 
 You guys (and girls) are great!
 
If you are using the little white box that I think you are, it will not boot 
from
CD (even if opened up and an external drive connected), and has no floppy 
either.

There is a 34 pin connector for a floppy, accessible once the plastic shell is
removed. By connecting an external floppy, a network (or CDROM) install can be
performed.
