I recently installed apt-get after reading about it through the list here. Great program, but I have not attempted to even fix the things it is reporting as broken.
The main one I am concerned about is that it states there is a conflict between ipchains and iptables - which I would have thought when I installed MD 9.0, it would have stated something about those two do not go together. I did not install either ipchains or iptables -after- installing 9.0, I installed them during the main installation. If there was a conflict, shouldn't it have caught it then? I understand iptables are the most current set of firewall control varibles, and ipchains is older...so I should be able to uninstall ipchains - right? My goal is to end up configuring apt-get to automatically keep my system up to date, but before I set it up as such (if I can? LOL) I want to get my system in tip top shape. The system I am referring to here is my personal p.c. - the network itself is protected on the internet router/firewall computer....which I think is also running ipchains along side iptables. I understand there may not really be a need to run a firewall on my p.c. - just taking the stance of it doesn't hurt to have a main firewall/router protecting the network, and on all Windoze p.c.'s within the network are running Zone Alarm as back up protection...thus I have installed (but never really changed any configuration) iptables and ipchains on my mandrake p.c. Excuse me if I give a little too much info, never sure what exactly is needed so I blab blab blab LOL TIA Steve -- Linux user #280097 Machine #162480 http://counter.li.org
