2003-03-08 Per discussione Robert Wideman
I am playing around with wine. It is working just fine on my MDK9 install. I also have an RH8 install on another box. I was wondering if anyone has tried tarballing the ~/wine directory and moving it to another box OR distro'ed box and it still work. My thought on doing this is that it is linux

Are you talking about a chroot environment? Have you used UML? It sure doesnt sound like it. Its a virtual machine (OS) inside file. Just like VMWare but better (depending on what your doing). Its built into the kernel and it has its own filesystem and everything.

Firewalling/packet filtering/NAT is compiled into the Linux Kernel, it is not a service. You don't start it, you just configure it for operation. The iptables package that you installed is only a user-space configuration utility - again not a service. I would not worry if iptables does

I think there is some confusion. LinNeighborhood is nothing to do with autofs. If autofs were a dependency of LinNeighborhood, then you would be warned when you tried to 'urpme autofs'. But it isn't... So you won't.. If you want to know what dependencies a package has. Just look it up in
