scenario: I've just connected a pc via satalite to the net, now I want
it to show up as a sub-part (is that the right term?) on our domain.
ie our domain is foo.net
and we want it to show up as 104.foo.net

into the archives without a man page, even if the man page said nothing
more than sorry, there's no information here.
Perhaps that rule only

Hey folks,
I'm fairly new to debian and have been playing around getting a web
server up and running.
I ran into what I thought sounded like a dream come true, WebMin. So I
installed it via dselect with some packages I thought I'd need. However
now I cannot get it to run. After doing some
a whole lot and was
indecipherable about how to set up. Design by committe.
