;; How to get Fedora Core 6 running on a Thinkpad T60:

$ rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm

$ cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/macromedia.repo

baseurl=http://macromedia.rediris.es/rpm/
enabled=1

$ rpm --import http://macromedia.rediris.es/FEDORA-GPG-KEY

;; Now you wont have a wifi interface and lsmod ipw3945 will
;; throw errors at you. That's because you have the wrong
;; kernel! It's a known bug:

$ yum -y install yum-utils
$ yumdownloader kernel.i686
$ rpm -ivh --replacefiles --replacepkgs kernel-2*.i686.rpm
$ reboot


;; On with more interesting stuff. Setup and software:

$ cat > /etc/sysconfig/iptables
*filter
:FORWARD DROP [0:0]
:INPUT DROP [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 --syn -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
