IPCop Clean Install

OK, so I screwed up.  After some comments left on this blog by "Anonymous" discouraged me from running IPCop over VMWare on a Win2003 Server for a "live" environment, I decided to do a clean install of IPCop running native. So far, everything is going fine.  I installed the URLFilter addon and setup Snort (intrusion detection) and have begun testing the new box in preperation for going "live".  All went smoothly once I decided to switch 320 GB HD out for a 80GB to avoid any 48-bit issues with drives over 136GB.  Besides, I don't need THAT much space.  The only glitch is that I accidently ran the install using IPCop 1.4.2 instead of 1.4.20, which are different animals. I suppose I could have downloaded the 1.4.20 ISO and do another install but, since I am a newbie with IPCop, I decided to run the approximately 18 patches in succession to get it up to 1.4.21.  Once I figured out the system (and that I didn't have to expand the .tar  files before uploading), everything went fine and I was able to see the changes as IPCop had grown since 2005.  It was a bit tedious but a good learning experience.  Thanks again, Anonymous!
