Yeah, most everybody in the office is running Red Hat.  But I also 
have an ancient Mac I want to use as a gateway running Linux, so I 
wanted to keep the configs as similar as possible.  Now that I'm past 
the initial learning curve, I'm really liking the dpkg tools, and the 
fact that most packages you'd want are centrally located.

It dies with a segmentation fault immediately upon image activation.

I grabbed this kit (thanks!) and installed it, but it still dies with 
the same error--segmentation fault immediately on starting the 
daemon.  In fact, if I just type 'diald' at the command line, it 
fails the same way.  My config is nothing special; very similar to 
what's in the diald mini-HOWTO.  If I get a chance this weekend, 
maybe I'll try to figure out how to compile it debug and take a look.

My guess is that it's barfing on something in its config file(s) 
(which it shouldn't do) or I've got some sort of library problem. 
Though, the package installed without complaint.

Thanks again,
-Doug
