Re: [SLUG] Setting Up Debbie
Okay Terry, Basicly - as for the network, during the setup (before you reboot), you need to load the module for your network card. On an old system you're most likely to have a generic ne2000 or 8139too. If you get the right module installed and Debian can make an eth0 of it, you will get network config after the hostname config. Apt-get sources in aust, there are a few. But unfortunatly I think all the apt mirrors will have woody on them by now. However, run apt-setup, and it will set up the sources, otherwise theres: au.debian.org ftp.iinet.net.au (Perth -- use this if you have iiNet Bliink ADSL, as it doesnt count to your d/l limit!) mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au (Sydney) mirror.monash.edu.au (victoria) mirror.aarnet.edu.au planetmirror.com.au (brisbane) ^^there are a few, but you'll want to probably use http for most of them - as with ftp sometimes you'll get Too many users for the more popular servers. Anyway - if you are new to installing Debian - take a look at www.aboutdebian.com which has some good guides, etc. Good luck going to Deb!

Some requests (please reply to this email as I'm not recieving list here) 1) I can not actually see individual packages to install.

I thought there was a network configuration program. This might be solved by getting one to work. 3) Assuming 2 is successful, can someone send me the australian apt-get sources (stable).

Try pressing 'o' (I think) it'll scroll between different ways of listing packages. Or you might not actually have the package lists available (try running dselect's 'update' function). You could always try using apt-get directly, too. 2) What do I read to figure out how to set up the ethernet card (I have a basic 3 CD binary set) and networking. I thought there was a network configuration program. This might be solved by getting one to work. Work out which module you need, and do echo module /dec/modules and modprobe module. Then edit /etc/network/interfaces and add a stanza for your network card. Examples should be in /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples. There is a Debian network configurator, but I can't remember what it is (never used it). 3) Assuming 2 is successful, can someone send me the australian apt-get sources (stable). deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/debian-non-us stable/non-US main contrib \ non-free Give that a shot. - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
