[TriLUG] installing m0n0wall

[Jason Tower]

we found the reason the our m0n0wall installation wasn't working on our 
test box tonight.  the downloaded disk image is actually gzipped, 
unfortunately though the filename doesn't reflect that.  therefore what 
we tried didn't result in a bootable CF card:

dd if=generic-pc-xxx.img | dd of=/dev/hdX

instead we should have done this:

gunzip -c generic-pc-xxx.img | dd of=/dev/hdX bs=16k

*shrug* live and learn.  thanks to all who attended tonight, and thanks 
to greg for his presentation.  also, for those who are interested the 
2004 trilug financial report is available at:
