-1) The netfilter core team is maintaining a set of extensions / new
- features which are not yet committed to the mainstream kernel tree.
-
-They are a collection of maybe-broken maybe-cool third-party extensions.
-
-Please note that you cannot apply any combination of any of those patches.
-Some of them are incompatible...
-
-This is why we provide two ways of applying them:
-
-If you want to try some extensions, and be sure that they don't break each
-other, you can do the following:
-
- % make most-of-pom KERNEL_DIR=<<where-you-built-your-kernel>>
-
-It will modify you kernel source (so back it up first!). You will have
-to recompile / rebuild your kernel and modules.
-
-Alternatively, if you really know what your are doing, you can use the
-following command in order to offer you the full list of choices. Be aware
-that we don't prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot.
