That's extremely out of date information.

LRP is not being all that actively maintained, last I heard, as just about
all of the developers have moved onto the LEAF project (Linux Embedded
Appliance Firewall) - see the link in my .sig. There are many prebuilt
versions available now. All support routing, DMZs, IPSec, VPNs, booting
from floppy, CD, or write-protected CF cards, etc. The newest variant,
Bering, is based on a 2.4.18 kernel, and employs the excellent Shorewall
firewalling script for iptables. Very easy to use and setup.
