Whoops. Well, I intended an upgrade, looks like I should use another
method. I had installed potato in the first place, but I just don't
know how to do this. There seem to be only CD images for slink.

Uh-oh. I did not configure my network yet, I'm not even sure whether
my Fritz! ISDN card will work with slink... I heard that I might need
some newer stuff for some Fritz! cards. I'll have to read (and get)
the ISDN HOW-TO first. BTW, why do I have to get it, why aren't the
HOW-TO's installed as default? They are not contained on my two Debian
CDs. I already downloaded a set with all HOW-TO's, but still there was
no ISDN HOW-TO there.
I also do not have man pages for apt-get... apt-get, however, is
installed.

I will do this.
Many thanks, Nate, I guess this will help me a lot. If the ISDN stuff
doesn't work, I will use the modem from my other PC instead.
