several questions about kernel, iptables, pptp, DKMS, l7-filter in Fedora

[Zhen Zhou]

Hi,
I look for some kernel information, I found that pptp embedded as
ip_conntrack_helper_pptp and ip_nat_helper_pptp into kernel 2.6.17
series, so now I don't need to patch kernel if I use 2.6.17, is it
correct?

And is Fedora 3 friendly with kernel 2.6.17?

Thanks a lot,

Zhou Zhen
