Kathy, unfortunately this is pretty much no longer an option.  In the  
old days when a honeywall was just some basic scripts (such as  
rc.firewall) you could build and roll your own.  However, now that  
things are much more complex (scripts using variables, inter  
dependencies, much more functionality, etc) all of our development  
efforts are on the CDROM.  So if you want to use the latest and  
greatest, you will have to use the CDROM.

There will be one last release of the 1.x branch in several weeks,  
with many updates and bug fixes.  Our new 2.x branch will be released  
before the end of the year.  This will be based on Fedora Core 4, and  
have vast new functionality, sub systems, etc.  Our goal in the long  
term future is to be able to 'decouple' the honeywall functionality  
into packages, letting you install it on the OS of your choice.   
However, its going to take a while for that to happen :-0

Thanks!
