This is the only toolchain I had by my hands. I've taken a fresh
cvs co (from my local rsync'ed sources) and it's working quite
nice now:

192:~# uptime
 18:23:04 up  3:05,  2 users,  load average: 0.75, 0.45, 0.19

The machine's installation is not perfect: I'm currently replacing
all the simply extracted files/debs by really installing them.
Btw., I don't get any questions when I attempt to install packages.
I think this is due to the fact that debconf (or apt) wasn't
really installed at the first time. How do I choose the configuration
frontend once again?

Another question: install-info (or Perl?) is still broken. Any hints
on debugging this?
