What would one need to change in the kernel .config file to put back the 
firewall capability for BL3?  Under Networking Options I see
CONFIG_FIREWALL is not set - is this all that is needed?

I can compile you a kernel just like BL3 but with firewall added if you 
want (or make any other requested deletions to make it even smaller).


We have a computer with Windows on hda1 and DOS on hda2 (and a linux 
partition or two) which is currently set with hda2 bootable.  When it had 
hda1 bootable it could be booted from the bare.i kernel.  With hda2 
bootable instead, bare.i kernel will NOT boot but the BL3 and Bl2 kernels 
boot, and so does one I compiled with sound and scsi support.  If we make 
hda1 active again bare.i will boot.  Why?
