[Devil-Linux-discuss] noob questions

[B. K. M. <bm...@pa...>]

I need some help.  I have walked through the setup of a DL firewall w/ 2
interfaces.  That part was easy.  I want to save the configuration to a
usb flash drive.  That is proving to not be so easy.  I can plug the
flash drive before the system boots from the CD and the system sees the
flash drive.  I can manually mount the flash drive
(mount /dev/sda1 /mnt) and then ls the directory to see what is on the
flash drive.

However when I run the save-config script it never saves to the flash
drive.  From the screen it looks like it is trying to save the
configuration to the CD.  

One note, during the initial system boot I have to specify "0
DL_config=/config/etc.tar.bz2" at the boot prompt to get the system to
start up.  It then finds the basic config on the CD.  However, it never
asks where the config data is to be saved.  I think this is the problem.
It doesn't "know" about the usb drive -- that it should save the data to
it.

If I can get this resolved I will have an awesome system.

Also, I have seen reference to using the 2.6 kernel "experimentally".
Any plans to move it into the production version?

Thanks for any help
