one of the early posts of how-to:
http://personal.mco.bellsouth.net/mco/j/g/jgoerz/smoothwall-faq/smoothwall-faq.html#AEN93
I made a hack that worked with 0.9.6 release and
below. Supports two nic and takes a total of twenty
minutes.
The 0.9.8 release is in second beta right now. Will
be full release next friday. Support 3 nics.
Currently install time is less than 10 minutes. I have
beta version if you want to install now.
DHCP server is already installed and configured.
DHCPD for DSL / CABLE connections is built in.
Basicly solid and fast.
You only need an old 486 with 16 megs to have a great
firewall for cable to DSL.
Well help you do it. Also have old boxes and nics if
you need them too.
