I have no /usr/doc/mgetty, that was my first problem.
"dpkg --contents mgetty_0.99.deb" and "dpkg --search mgetty" both can't
find it. There is only /usr/doc/copyright/mgetty.
Did you mean /usr/info? That seems to have the same information as Gert's
Postscript file, which is what I used for my successful Slackware
installation. Following that info is complicated a bit by not having
"policy.h".

"man mgetty" and "info mgetty" give no hint about whether "d3:45" is
correct. Can somebody tell me what line works for them?
I realize I'm missing something obvious, since I've been reading
the debian and mgetty mailing lists for months and nobody else seems to
have such basic problems.
