The problem is likely the kernel options. The diskette version by default comes with a much smaller kernel, with many advanced features disabled to save space for the average user. From the kernel-source REAMDE file:
The "small" kernels are missing the following features of the "normal" kernels: IP: multicasting IP: advanced router IP: use FWMARK value as routing key IP: multicast routing The IPv6 protocol IPX: Full internal IPX network IPX: SPX networking LAPB Data Link Driver Bridging QoS and/or fair queueing Mouse Support (not serial mice) Reiserfs support Support for console on serial port So...if "ip rule" requires advanced routing to be enabled, it won't work using the "small" kernel tree. If you need this functionality, upgrade to a "normal" or "RAID" kernel.

I'm playing around with the Dachstein CD version and the Diskette Version, when i issue the following commmand: ip rule list on the Diskette version, i get the following error message: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument Dump terminated when issued on the Cd version, i get the correct results....can this be a BUG, i was checking out googles for more information. seems like they were saying something about ip policy routing was not enable in the kernel.... let me know, if this is a bug, or me doing something wrong on the diskette version thnks ------------------------------------------------------------- Reginald R.
