Add appropriate ``gateway'' stanza in /etc/network/interfaces; see
interfaces(5). Or simply add the gateway-adding command to
/etc/init.d/network.

(1) Setup your iptables configuration.
(2) Do ``iptables-save > /etc/iptables.conf''.
(3) Add ``iptables-restore < /etc/iptable.conf'' to /etc/init.d/network.
Do NOT use /etc/init.d/iptables until it's audited -- there is/was a
potential security breach (see Bug#225805), and other issues are
probably to be discovered.
Alternatively, you can modularize the setup, using
/etc/network/interfaces.

apt-get install kdm; maybe apt-get remove xdm
