Thank you.  That took care of the issue.  I am using Devil-Linux as a
demonstration of firewall technology for a system/network security class
that I am going to be teaching.  I have written a exercise using it..and
now that I have all the parts working I can finish it up.  If there is
any interest I think I can release it as a tutorial for the beginner
down the road.  It will step anyone right through how to use DL all the
way from download to setting up a basic - 2 interface system (and saving
the changes to usb :).  Let me know if this is of interest and I can
post a pdf within a month or two to my website.

If you know your enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result
of a hundred battles.  If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every
victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.  If you know neither the
enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
