My Libretto is a FireWall

That procedure may install

A Smoothwall box
A Smoothwall developpement center

Install Procedure (Smoothwall 0.9.8)

Install

1- Install another distribution, (I used Mandrake 7.2) that will be used as a SmoothWall developpement center, with the partitions (SmoothWall prefers have root partition on /dev/hda2)

/dev/hda1 of 61 MB, mounted as /dos

$ROOT=/dev/hda2 of 82 MB minimum, mounted in Mandrake as /smooth will be / when started in Smoothwall

$SWAP=/dev/hda3 of 74 MB minimum, swap partition

/dev/hda4 extended

/dev/hda5 of 82 MB Mandrake root

/dev/hda6 of 419 MB Mandrake /usr

2- Unpack smoothwall.tgz (extracted from CDrom, or ISO file) in /smooth
3- Addition for laptops: copy

the pcmcia drivers to /smooth/lib/modules/2.2.18/pcmcia
the pcmcia utils (cardmgr, cardctl, ifuser) to /smooth/sbin
the pcmcia scripts (config, config.opts, network, network.opts) to /smooth/etc/pcmcia

Theese scripts start the eth0 pcmcia card and configure the eth0 network. Do not use 'Red interface' configuration of setup program, but do:

cat >/smooth/var/smoothvall/ethernet/settings

CONFIG_TYPE=0

ORANGE_DEV=

RED_DEV=

GREEN_DEV=eth0

GREEN_ADDRESS=139.54.64.254

GREEN_NETMASK=255.255.248.0

GREEN_NETADDRESS=139.54.64.0

^C

The address and mask must be the same as in /smooth/etc/pcmcia/network.opts

Upgrade with 2.2.19 kernel(be ready for 0.9.9) Copy vmlinuz in /smooth/boot and untar boot in /smooth, then update /etc/lilo.conf (in the developpement center) and run lilo

4- make symlinks to $SWAP=swap dev and $ROOT=root dev

cd /smooth/dev

ln -s $SWAP harddisk1

ln -s $ROOT harddisk2

5- edit /smooth/etc/passwd and remove the root password

Customize

1- edit (or patch) /smooth/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit (if you have a french kbd)

-loadkeys /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/uk.kmap.gz

+#loadkeys /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/uk.kmap.gz

+loadkeys /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin1.kmap.gz

2- edit (or patch) /smooth/etc/rc.d/rc.network and /smooth/etc/rc.d/rc.halt (For laptops)
3- edit /etc/sysconfig/network.

The IP address written in this script is used for the ipchains settings, it must be the same as the IP address in the /etc/pcmcia/network.opts

4- edit (or patch) /smooth/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit to add economy facilities:

This works on Toshiba laptops and turns off the LCD backlight.

insmod toshiba
/sbin/tosh_lcd -0
/sbin/hdparm -c 1 -m 16 -S 6 /dev/hda

5- edit /etc/lilo.conf to add a Smoothwall entry with /smooth/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.18 and run lilo (from Mandrake)
6- reboot and select Smoothwall in lilo menu
7- At the Smoothwall prompt, login as root (without password) and run "setup"

Set root password
Set admin password
Set dial password

8- Should be ready. Run your Netscape. and go to http://Smoothwall/cgi-bin/index.cgi.

Remarks (Toshiba Libretto)

As Smoothwall is based on a RedHat 6.2, I tried first to install a RedHat distribution. I began with 7.0, but I have 2 problems:

At install, I have a PCMCIA-CD, it asked me, after the boot floppy: "insert the drivers floppy". But it could not read it, because the floppy drive is a PCMCIA drive, and its driver wasn't loaded.
After, I have an error at the end of the kernel compilation (checksum.S)
