Re: [Nolug] Confusion getting Debian source code

potato (2.2r4) uses kernel 2.2.19. Actually, the -ide kernel
is 428K *smaller* than the -compact kernel...

I'll keep your ideas in mind.

ipchains now works, after a failed 2.2 kernel build! At boot
time, the linus kernel got an unresolved symbol in af_packet.
So, I went back to the kernel I *think* had been using, and now
ipchains works.

Oh, well. Computers work in mysterious ways...
