[suse-security] RE: Installing iptables 1.2.8 in a SUSE 8.1

["Fried Melgar, Gustavo" <GFried@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

		 
		I want to upgrade my SUSE 8.1 (with 2.4.19 kernel) from iptables 1.2.7 to iptableas 1.2.8. But also I want to install some patches to the kernel (kernel-source-2.4.19.SuSE-340.i586.patch.rpm )
		 
		I don't know in which order I have to do that.
		Do I have to install the SUSE's patch first, then iptables 1.2.8 and at last patch-o-matic? Is this the right order to install this patches?
		Do I need to install patch-o-matic-20030107 (I don't need extra options)
		
		Do I have to recompile the kernel each time I modify the kernel source or can I recompile it at the end?
		Do you have any other suggestions for this task?
		 
		Best regards and thank you in advance,
		Gustavo
