Re: New to Debian



Don't get me wrong Ken but your mail is some kind of horrific.
We're not a free of charge Support. We're willed to help but I -
and I hope the others agree to my statement - would like to see some
sort of netiquette. Especially it's always a good thing to show
that you've tried to solve your problems and got stuck. As a nice side
effect this kind of behaviour will not only please us but will help
us to give you better advices (as you can see by my answer it's not
really possible to help you with the given facts).
Please refer the RFC called netiquette for more information.

Yes, it's called aptitude.
# apt-get install aptitude

Well, belongs on your second NIC. I presume that your second NIC has
the same chip as the first. So you just have to edit
/etc/network/interfaces

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
      address your.ip.to.use
      netmask your.netmask.to.use
      network your.network.to.use
      broadcast your.network's.broadcast.address
      gateway your.gateway's.ip.address

After editing just execute
# ifup eth1

Mind that static is used if you don't use bootp or similiar to
configure your configure your NIC.

Is highly dependent on what soundcard you use.
