Tried the compile with USB in and make failed Took the USB stuff out and I'm now running a new kernel. :) Currently I'm sitting behind a firewall while I work on this box. I prefer to not give the whole world access to my internal network while I do this, so I that firewall has got to move up in my list of priorities. So I'm going to configure sendmail, qpopper, DNS and Named, NAT, and the firewall. Once I've done that, I'll configure the second nic and put the system on-line. That's when I find out how bad I've botched everything else up :) Hopefully sometime today, if not, then tomorrow!
