Apt-get does want to do most of it for you.  That is the unmet
dependancy cure.  Any configuration that is optional will be
presented to you for your selection.  The things that HAVE to be
done, are done by apt-get.  It is almost idiot proof.  I have screwed
it up a few times, but usually by telling it to run i the kernel
instead of as a module before I had it running the way I wanted it
to.
