20. After the floppy is created, you are asked if you want to create another floppy disk. Type
y if you want another floppy disk and insert another floppy disk to create it. Otherwise,
just type n and you are done:
Would you like to create another copy of this disk [y/n]? n
Now you??™re ready to try out your Coyote Linux floppy disk firewall.

Running a Linux Firewall/Router 18
Running the Coyote Linux Floppy Firewall
To start up your firewall, simply insert the floppy disk into your firewall computer and reboot. The
firewall should come up as you configured it to run. There is no direct shell interface from the firewall??™s
console once it??™s up and running. In fact, you don??™t even have to have a monitor on the firewall
because you won??™t see a login prompt anyway. Any administration of the firewall should be done
over your LAN.
If you configured it as just described, your firewall is now:
Offering addresses to the computers on your LAN using DHCP
Launching a dial-up connection from your firewall to your ISP as soon as anyone from
your LAN or the firewall itself tries to access the Internet
Allowing traffic from your LAN to the Internet
Offering login (sshd) and Web administration service to you from your LAN
If the firewall is not behaving as you would like it to, go to the next section to further tune it.
