Base Install (sorta) - DSL Setup

[Henning Seljenes <seljenes@pdq.net>]

I downloaded the Debian CD yesterday, and proceeded to install... I think it 
only did a base install with very few other libs or the such. I have a view 
questions.



While talking on irc.debian.org pthree was helping me setup my dsl... I 
followed the following format:



update-modules

probemod tulip

pump



-- this got me online, but would continually freeze when trying to update the 
dist. I was wondering if this was the http or my setup for the DSL. How can I 
setup my dsl so it will connect each time I boot? I downloaded dhcp-conf and 
tried to compile and got this error:



Cannot open file (newt.h)



-- or something along those lines, after asking in my previous install 
(updated over a normal modem) I used



apt-get install libnewt-dev



--but now whenever I try this I get "Cannot find library"... Last time it 
downloaded and isntalled and I tried make again, and I got the error "Cannot 
open data.o". Arn't some of themost commonly used libraries on one of the 
debian CD's? If so which one, and how do I install them?





Thanks for any help,
