i think slink (note the intellectual rhyming there) may have had
'network' but potato has 'networking' which relies heavily on
/etc/network/interfaces (man interfaces).

unless i'm wrong (or as uncle vernon would say, "barking,
howling mad").

[slink was debian stable for a while, then potato became the
debian stable, and woody's next. real soon now. that's what they
tell me.]

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #69 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
Preparing to UPGRADE POSTGRESQL? If you have a second machine
on your network that you can tinker with, do your upgrade
there, first: you can have your current applications link to
the remote database through the network:
	psql -h 192.168.2.17 myDB
or in perl,
	$dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Pg:dbname=myDB;host=192.168.2.17');
(You may need to tweak your 'host-based access' settings in
/etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf, first.) Once you're satisfied that
all is well, upgrade your main server. No down time!
  See "man psql" and "man DBD::Pg" for details.
