Hi all,

I am now in charge of a RaQ 4r purchased one year ago
and i'd like to know if there is any problem if i
recompile the Kernel myself, see, i'd like to be
able to install ipchains or some other firewall, but
i don't see it in package list.

BTW i have the root password so i don't really use
the web interface.

my /usr/src/linux points to /usr/src/linux-2.2.14C11

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Enrique-


Yes there are problems is you recompile the kernel.
ipchains is already on the machine I do believe
You need to update the machine. By not using the GUI you can not see which packages have been installed and not installed. 
You need to get all the updates for the machine.  Go to cobalts download page.
