I REALLY need some help with setting up a DNS server on Mepis. I've been

I'm not thinking clearly, but I need to get this (and NIS, which is fubar,
too) working as quickly as possible, so I'd really appreciate help with this
(since nobody on the Mepis IRC channels or forums seems to know what to
do). I've tried other mailing lists, but I'm not getting any suggestions.
Please don't hesitate to tell me if I'm missing the obvious, since, at this
point, my brain feels like it's mud.
I've been using the Debian reference manuals online, but even when I follow
their instructions, it doesn't seem to be enough. I tried using Webmin to
set this up, figuring that would ensure the config files were in proper
shape, but it didn't help.
I think there are several issues. The first is that everytime I try to start
the dns with /etc/init.d/bind9, I get this:
Hal,
Is the Mepis distribution based on Debian? I just jumped over to their
site and didn't see (quick look grant you) any references to Debian. If
it is not based on the 'Debian way' of doing things, using the Debian
reference manuals might some of the problem.
Then again not using Debian might be the problem ;)
