Will there be a Rev01 for SLX 2.0 (Sarge)?



Dear list,

today I had to admit that currently post-install-steps are very 
difficult to newbies:

In order to update kernel 2.6 (necessary to recognize viarhine NIC), one 
has to enter

# export http_proxy=http://10.0.2.2:3128
# vi /etc/apt/sources.list
   // now do some changes

and only now we can use the comfortable apt-commands.

Probably other users have holes in their firewalls and can do without 
proxy. However I suggest to have ready made scripts like

apt-setup-http-proxy.sh    
apt-setup-http-direct.sh
apt-setup-cdrom.sh

These scripts could either edit or replace the sources.list accordingly.

I admit that I also had problems with starting X for the first time - no 
mouse pointer /dev/ts0 (???) and no screen found. But this is yet 
another story. I just need to remember ...

Regards
Ralf

P.S.: Instead filing a bug report, I ask your opinion here. Maybe I can 
upload such scripts via svn (d.s.n)...
