Re: [Security Firewall] ISO

Having iso image is good.  We can access the cvs to build ourselves is 
good too.  But in order to maintain the security of installed mnf2, we 
should have a way to alert on fixes.

At the time of mnf8.2, Mandrake will issue security advisories and 
packages to fix, either security fixes or bug fixes.  With the suggested 
arrangement, it'll be the installer effort to find or alert on these 
kind of fixes.  That is they should be well known on the packages and 
system of mnf2.

Have somebody think about this on going maintenance of their installed mnf2?

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers
