Re: Customizing debian firewall install

You can't actually modify an iso image as the filesystem type is readonly. What you can do is mount the iso, copy the contents to a working directory, then make your modifications and use mkisofs/genisoimage to create a new iso image. When in doubt consult man, /usr/share/doc, and google. If you are looking for a simple firewall script try ipmasq though I recommend writing one from scratch.

Did you try to find what firewall you ran by doing
apt-cache search firewall

We have no idea which script you installed before. There are many
firewall packages in debian.
