hello everyone ! 
  i have a quickie question for those who have already tried slink.  is apt and 
apt-get already built w/in the "base" or "required" field ?
  because ive already downloaded /disks-i386/ and was wondering whether its all 
i need to get to tell my debian afterwards to install this and that for me.
thanks,
chad
