Looking at the SF page, it appears that the compresed file is approximatly
4.7mb. However they don't say what the resident size is in the ram disk,
which concerns me about how much memory you would need to run this. If the
ramdisk isn't compressed, it could take upto 15 - 20mb of ram, and once
you add X onto that you are really going to be pushing a 32mb machine.
Do you have any feelings about this or experiances with how much ram you
do really need ? I couldn't find anything about this on their pages.

Question about routing
by Jodi Thomson
Howdy
I'm looking for a way of routing ports 7210, 7220, 7230, 7240, 7250,
7280 and 7285 from one IP to another using masquerading
eg incoming traffic on 130.217.xxx.xx1 and outgoing on 130.217.xxx.xx2
UDP and TCP
This is to solve a problem we're having with offsite connections to our
new library system server
Query 1)Are these ports routable in the linux kernel?
Query 2) Can some give an example ipchains/iptables rules of how I might
go about this? (I'm not overly fluent with creating these)
Cheers
Jodi
