Versions before 0.9.3 do not load any modules for you if they are not already loaded or compiled into the kernel. It depends on your IPTables version if kernel modules are automatically loaded or not. So please make sure that your Kernel is configured to accept your configuration before you start using KMyFirewall.
If you want to use p.e. "Connection Tracking" make sure that the module "ip_conntrack" is loaded or compiled into your kernel. For further instruction about installing and getting IPTables running have a look at the homepage of the IPTables project.
Install Instructions
Install from source
Extract the archive (e.g. tar xvfz kmyfirewall-<version>.tar.gz) in the directory where you saved the tarball and cd to its root-directory. There you have to run the following commands to configure, compile and install kmyfirewall on your system:
./configure --prefix=<where-your-kde-root-is>
make
su -c "make install"
As several users have reported, KMF does not behave very well (GUI problems) if you pass the wrong options to the ./configure command. Please have a look at the source packages your distribution provides for KDE applications to find out the right arguments for ./configure. For a more detailed description about the arguments you can pass to ./configure, have a look at the INSTALL file in the source package.
Install using RPM packages
Simply download the kmyfirewall-<version>.rpm package and run following command as root:
rpm -Uhv kmyfirewall-<version>.rpm
Install using apt-get packages
Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
rpm http://www.rockerssoft.com/apt/fedora/1/en/i386/./
And run apt-get update followed by apt-get install kmyfirewall to install the package.
Thanks a lot to Rockerssoft for providing those packages.
