Is there a document describing the differences between the pre-defined install types available when installing Mandriva 2006 Free? When I install using the 'High' option, I make the following changes to the default package selections:
Remove Office
Remove Multimedia
Add Network client
Add Network server
Add firewall/router
When installation is complete, I find that shorewall is installed with a sample configuration in place. I simply tweak the config files to meet my needs and shorewall works perfectly.
When I install using the 'Standard' option, I make the exact same package selections as above, but this time shorewall is not installed. So I install manually and I find that the sample configuration is not available - the config files are all blank. (except for the comments provided as documentation)
I restore the config files from another installation but shorewall won't start because the star script is referencing files that don't exist in a folder that doesn't exist - /etc/ifw. Turns out this package isn't installed.
This all leads me to a few questions that I was hoping some of you could answer for me:
- What are the differences between Standard and High in terms of the packages that are installed
- Why would sample configuration be missing when I install Shorewall manually
- Is the ifw (interactive firewall) package required for shorewall? If so, why wouldn't the RPM installation list it as a requirement?
Thanks...
