I was wondering if someone could suggest what I should select.
Compiling kernel 2/6/16, debian Sarge 3.1
* IO Schedulers
*
Anticipatory I/O scheduler (IOSCHED_AS) [Y/n/m/?] y
Deadline I/O scheduler (IOSCHED_DEADLINE) [Y/n/m/?] y
CFQ I/O scheduler (IOSCHED_CFQ) [Y/n/m/?] y
Default I/O scheduler
> 1. Anticipatory (DEFAULT_AS) (NEW)

2. Deadline (DEFAULT_DEADLINE) (NEW)
3. CFQ (DEFAULT_CFQ) (NEW)
4. No-op (DEFAULT_NOOP) (NEW)
choice[1-4?]: ?

Select the I/O scheduler which will be used by default for all
block devices.

Default I/O scheduler
> 1. Anticipatory (DEFAULT_AS) (NEW)

2. Deadline (DEFAULT_DEADLINE) (NEW)
3. CFQ (DEFAULT_CFQ) (NEW)
4. No-op (DEFAULT_NOOP) (NEW)
choice[1-4?]:

TYIA.

This is the one. Since it's the default, I guess the kernel developers
think that it's the best overall for most people. I'm using it, and it
seems to *double* disk performance (over 2.4.x) at times.

I'm considering recompiling the kernel without the other I/O schedulers to
create a leaner kernel.

TY for your help and your email also. I am trying again, so you know, and
you were quite right about the xtables going unnoticed, and thus not even
prompting a whole bunch of things.

Well, the firewall works, but no programs using internet have access. Try
try again. :-)

Thanks for the second email, that finally resolved enough of my issues to
make me happy. Tomorrow, the sound card! :-)
