Re: X Windows

1. ... don't know (I'm still using dselect, haven't tried apt)

2. Make sure you have fat/vfat & msdos support compiled in your kernel
and then mount (manually or via some entry in fstab) your Win9x
partition with the command 'mount -t msdos /dev/hdxx /mnt' where hdxx is
replaced by you partition id, and /mnt replaced with your desired mount
point. There is another set of tools (mtools?) that may offer another
method.

3. ... haven't played with it

4. You may be having the same problem I had (and found the solution for
on this mailing list) - the 'tm' package. Run dselect and 'purge' that
package. When I did that emacs installed fine.

5. If you are using pon to start it up, then poff will end it. 

6. ... Still working on this myself
