I could help, given the time factor.

I have a 3.1r0a disc in the back of Martin Krafft's book - "The Debian 
System Concepts and Techniques", No Starch Press. ISBN 1-59327-069-0, 
but I'm stuck at work on an XP polluted laptop with no opportunities 
presenting.
My new SID powered box will be finished in just a couple of days and 
I'll be able to send you something then.
Failing that, depending on where you are, you might be in a position to 
purchase the book yourself.

Whichever is quickest.
