Yes, there's the Firewall how to and IPMasquerading howtos. These are generic,
but I have found it all to work for me. Minimum number of pacakages? None I
don't think - it's built into the kernel!
Do you mean how should I setup a DHCP Server? Do:
apt-get install dhcp
I have found the Debian DHCP server to be a bit of a pig. The default settings
from Debian are stupid - but do provide you with a good example. I wish they
would create a useful dhcp.conf file during the install!
