Re: compile the kernal

[Statux <statux bigfoot com>]

At the root (base) of the kernel source you type 'make menuconfig' :)

As far as that HOWTO you were reading, it probably just told you what
options to enable. That's how it's done quite often.. as menu entries move
around and get long confusing names, etc. Basically, all you'd have to do
is add proper entries to the .config that's in the kernel source tree:

CONFIG_NETFILTER=y

The above will enable (built-in) support (when possible to do so) for
whatever that key is for (it happens to be for iptables support in the
2.4 kernel series, in this example).

Make sure you have the same kernel version or a kernel from the series
they are talking about. Kernel versions 2.2.x and 2.4.x have different
firewalling support, in general. Keys that work with one kernel might not
work with another.
