  Note that you only need the transparent proxying patch if you would
like to do _transparent_ firewalling with Zorp. In case of a desktop
system, I'm not sure you need Zorp at all, it is really not a "personal
firewall" like thing.

  I think you mix RedHat's kernel release number with tproxy version.
RedHat's kernel is based on 2.4.20, the -6 suffix tells you it is the
sixth version of their kernel package. Tproxy version is totally
different, 2.4.20-12 describes it's tproxy release 12 (version 0.12) for
Linux 2.4.20. (It's a really old and outdated version, please don't use
it.)

  If you would like to patch the RedHat 9.0 kernel package, you should
try the newest version of tproxy (1.2.0), and get the patch for the
kernel version which is closest to yours (this will be 2.4.22). However,
I don't know if it was ever tested with RedHat's kernel, or the patch
applies at all.
