Guest derfeus Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Hello out there! 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? Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks... -Fred. [moved from Installing Mandriva - arctic.

Mhn Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 A quick search on "msec mandriva" gives: http://club.mandriva.com/xwiki/bin/KB/SecureSmsec http://club.mandriva.com/xwiki/bin/KB/SecureSmsec2 On the ifw problem, it can be that the config-files you used was referring to that package (maybe some 'use_ifw = yes' or similar).
