ok, so you want to change from smoothwall to K12LTSP for your firewall duties?
That is not such a good idea. I would leave smoothwall there, and setup NAT
on smoothwall.

K12LTSP does not compile anything during an install. Compiling a Kernel can
take hours.
All Kernels do NAT 0 it doesn't have to be compiled in. If a Kernel module is
required, then iptables will insert it on-the-fly.
If you would like to learn iptables, then I would suggest printing-out the
iptables howto (find on google) and carry it with you for your 'light
reading'. Read and digest 3 times, and then dig into a non-critical box,
such as your home firewall and have a hack.
HTH,
Steve
