..for an ipcop-1.5.ish setup, the easiest way is boot and install the
base debian system with the "bf24" kernel, toss out ipchains and
whatever 2.2 kernel the cat dragged in on installing
(apt-get remove --purge ipchains).

..then 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade' to get it all up to date,
and top it off with 'apt-get install webmin shorewall', details in
http://debian.org/ ,  http://webmin.com/ and http://shorewall.net/ .

..final touches is done in webmin, which needs to be upgraded from 
0.94 to 1.110, do this from within webmin, and you have the gui for 
ipcop-1.5's shorewall.  Add new "greens" and whatever as you please.

..not far off, I run ipcop-1.4.0a1 and I see no problems, but I don't
use vpn or the blue interface, I have all my wifi gear on red.  ;-)
