I'm a Windows user but my friends keep telling me that Linux is really great, so after spending hundreds of hours trying to troubleshoot both IPCop and ClarkConnect, I finally decided to give Monowall a try and here's what happens.
Download the ISO and burn in Nero. I have a generic PC with an Athlon XP and SATA onboard, popped in the CD and booted up.... the stupid thing hangs at:
"IP Filter: v3.4.35 initialized. Default = block all, Logging = enabled"
After 3 hours, I gave up and tried on an older PC with a VT133 chipset and a really old Excelstor IDE hard drive.
Same procedure, booted up and this time it reached all the way to this:
Manual root filesystem and specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
mountroot> _
Now I'm pissed, WTF is going on?! I'm installing using the v1.232 ISO.
