Hi Everyone, im running suse firewall on CD for my squid. It works in such a way that when the server boots, it actually boots from the cd-rom drive and picks some files from a floppy diskette (Which can be edited to suit one's need). It is therefore really secure in that a hacker would not write onto the CD-they can only go as far as maybe viewing the contents. I am however experiencing really slow network speeds as in really slow! I need ideas on how I can possibly troubleshoot that problem and if any one is actually using this procedure for a firewall, bring me upto speeed on it.

Your squid server runs on the CD, or the just the firewall, and the squid is on another box? I am looking into running squid soon and am a total newbie, but if my first sentence is correct, do you understand what squid does? But if I understand, you are writing your files to the floppy. They are _very_ slow! If I'm totally off base- just ignore me. Everyone else does. :) -- Thanks, George Best to keep your mouth closed and let people think you're an idiot than to open it and remove all doubt.
