Config

[Michael <michael_six@users.sourceforge.net>]

I managed to get  Woody installed using one disk.  But I have no idea 
how to configure things.  I ran through the ppp configuration, but  the 
error message ran by so fast that I couldn't read it.  I didn't know 
what to put into the apt sources file, which I am guessing is where to 
put whatever site to get the .deb packages from.  I would manually 
compile things onto the system, or try to, but I don't have gcc, so in 
my "inexperience" I didn't think I could run a configure script.

at install time, I put video=ofonly into the kernel options, so it would 
be passed at every boot.  When I tried to initially set up X and stuff 
it told me to input the first Disk and push enter, Which I never took it 
out so I just hit enter, but that kept giving me a sector error, but 
that may be the CD-RW I used.  When I installed I put in the kernel 
modules to install support for minix file system, DOS, HFS, and I think 
NFS, so I should be able to mount my OS X partition and get source and 
manually downloaded .deb files.

That brings up another question.  I worked in and on fink which has an 
apt-get package manager based on debian.  How close is this 
resemblance?  More importantly can I put whatever deb files into a 
directory for cache and install it?  Within fink I think it was 
/var/cache/apt/Archives.

I left the modem at the default, because I didn't know what to do.  is 
there some documentation I can look at to learn this stuff?
