I agree that manually upgrading a Cobalt's kernel may cause unforseen
problems unless your name is Linus Torvalds or Alan Cox.
The ipchains program wasn't on my RaQ3, but apparently support for it was
already in the kernel so I just installed the ipchains RPM.
Take a peek in /var/lib/cobalt to see a list of packages that have been
installed.
