Re: [RndTbl] boot and install from USB key
Time to either downgrade your expectations, downgrade your hardware, or upgrade your software. What do you want to use IPCOP for, anyway? Just a simple firewall? Dan Martin <ummar143@shaw.ca> wrote:

I think you are right, Adam.
I tried dd'ing directly to a SATA drive, put it in the machine, and it again booted but this time IPCop setup could not find hard drives.
I googled the "No hard disk found" error and found http://www.ipcops.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?p=82706

Which is vaporware, at least for now.
IPCop v1.9.x is based on a 1.4 kernel. I don't know what kernel IPCop v2.0.3 uses, but I'm guessing it can't see my SATA drive, and I have no IDE drives in the machine.
Yikes. I have an old pentium with an IDE drive with XP on it - but only 1 ethernet port. I'd hate to rob my new machine of it's PCI network cards to stick in the old clunker!

Yes, a firewall. Not dead simple, but hopefully not rocket science either. I am in the process of downloading the iso for ubuntu 12.4. If it can handle my hardware, I'll be spending some time with iptables. Dan Martin GP Hospital Practitioner Computer Scientist ummar143@shaw.ca (204) 831-1746 answering machine always on

I don't know if it will help with your hardware, but pfSense (FreeBSD-based) is another very nice firewall distro. Smallish download, and simple to configure.

pfSense looks good. Documentation a little less clear than IPCop, but good reviews. It will mean learning about pf, and abandoning my experience with iptables. I am tempted by eBox Platform, since it can function with a full Ubuntu install and can do a lot of things other than firewall. Yeah, I know - doing other things with it makes it less secure, and the whole point is to make the network secure. I will probably use pfSense. Thanks Tim, for bringing it to my attention.

Hi Dan, The web GUI is decent for many tasks, so you may find that you can get by without digging into pf. Cheers, Tim
