I am attempting to create a iptables firewall for a server with two ethernet cards/two ip addresses. It is just your average webserver that has two domain names/webpages in it (virtual hosting with Apache). I can get iptables to work with one ip address, but not the 2nd one. It seems to ignore the

???What am I missing?? I've tried repeatedly to install 8.0 into a system that has 3 hard drives for a software based RAID 5 setup. I am able to go through disk druid just fine... only when it tries to install to the hard drives do I get this error: "The Kernel was unable to re-read the part

Just curious if there is a way to decompile a driver.o file to get the .c and .h files? I figure if I can do this I might be able to get the FastTrak to work in 8.0 Thanks, Justin -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
