Re: What software to use for setting up an ISP web server on debian?
You should be able to add dlite to sources.list and use apt to get the lot.
Or am I overestimating my favorite tool?

Thanks Patrick,
I'll start comparing what is in the distro with what I've already installed
to see if I have those packages already. I've installed of debian 2.1
(except for packages that caused conflicts with other packages) and
hopefully I already have everything I need. I just don't know enough to
know :)
If I don't have those packages I will download them and install them.
Thanks again!

p.s. Anyone know how to give a pc an ip address on an intranet? I serial
connected two pc's using microsoft's direct connect and now would like to
connect the two pcs with network cards, one running windows and the web
server running debian. I've read that it's possible to have multiple
operating systems accessing the same resources through ppp and mgetty but I
think I need to give the web server an ip addresses in order for the
windows pc to be able access the web server on the debian system once the
web server is set up(?). Or maybe I misread the articel...
