Derek,
I am trying to set up a firewall machine, that is all it is going to do
is be a fire wall for our office. I am using RH 7.2 and tried to select
as little stuff as possible it still stuffed 330m of stuff on the HD. How
would you go about reducing that down to only that needed to run
the firewall?
