I did try that a few times, but never had success.  When you use 
Smoothwall or IPCop, it breaks up the HDD in to 3 parts:

hda1 = boot
hda2 = /
hda3 = logs

When I tried to put m0n0 on to there, it was telling me it did not have 
enough space.  I *think* what I needed to do was to start out with the 
HDD set as one large partition and then use the gunzip menthod.  Does 
having something like IPCop on there before that uses LILO do anything?  
Perhaps I am overthinking this, but when I was able to get the gunzip 
method to work, the PC booted and then just sat there with the HDD 
clicking and putting '99' across the screen over and over....

What was your drive like prior to the install?

Thanks,
Brian
