this is basicaly just a gui front end for iptables now weather it puts the rules in iptables or another deamon or script it works the same in the end....nad i still use it when i run a linux router

if i already have iptbales setup and working and i want to install firestarter for the gui interface can i do that and point firestarter fort he iptbales rules script to take them by default when i run it, in other word can i let firestater get the configured iptables rules by default without reconfiguring it all over again?
thanks
