This requires a kernel rebuilt to enable Netfilter (and according to the IPVS source, patching some kernel headers). Just recently (as in last week) got into Ubuntu. Nicest and slickest desktop distrib I've used ever.. but, I'm a bit confused as to how to go about a kernel rebuilt (being an old Slackware user since the 90's and a Red Hat/Fedora in recent years). Running kernel 2.6.12 and do not find the kernel source for it using Synaptic's search. Installed 2.6.11 and after having to manually unzip the .bz2 file, cannot even get 'make menuconfig' (or any other make option) to work. Obviously I'm missing something - and yeah, the brain is heavily infused with caffeine, but the old thing ain't what it use to be. Any pointers/URL/doc references/etc will be much appreciated, thanks. -- Billy ------------------------------------------------- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign against HTML \ / email and proprietary format X attachments. / \ ------------------------------------------------- Have you been abused by Microsoft today?
