I don't always use X on my Slackware machines, and firestarter, shoewall, and most others either want KDE or GNOMe loaded to work.
Are you referring to shorewall? Just curious, cause I didn't think it needed any desktop environment, unless you are using webmin to configure it. Only thing I believe I needed to do to get it running on Slack was grab the iproute utility (I had used a default install). I currently use it on both my slack boxes, and it has never complained when I'm in the console only.
