Need CD 2 for:
=============
misc/linuxlogo (run linuxlogoconfig for login prompt display)
text/par
text/yodl

Install the base system

Install the 28MB option

You'll only configure exim (number 2, I believe)

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list

##deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
##deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US
deb file:/cdrom/debian stable main

and then

mount /dev/hdc /cdrom
apt-get update
apt-get install vim vim-rt

You'll note that when you do this apt will also install the
xfree86-common and xlib6g packages. Apt does this to satisfy
dependencies, and I would guess in this case that vim runs differently
under X than it does from the console.

Now that I have my "vi of choice" installed, I'm going to add gpm
because I use the console cut-and-paste feature a lot.

apt-get install gpm

/dev/psaux
ps2

Let's see, I use par for reformatting paragraphs and I feel a little
lost without it already.

apt-get install par
OOPS! not on the first CD. Ah, well.

Need to make sure I can access the rest of the world, so I'll grab
minicom and lrzsz.

apt-get install minicom lrzsz

adduser pann dialout

and add this environment variable to your .bash_profile

export MINICOM='-m -c on'

Now as root, run 'minicom -m -c on -s' and set up the serial port.

Now as pann, test minicom.

If that works, the next step is to get ppp working.

As root, run pppconfig.

As root, run pon, plog -f, and poff.

adduser pann dip

Try it as pann.
Test your telnet client.

apt-get install lynx (should add mime-support to this line)
(and fix the terrible default colors)

OK, looks like linuxlogo isn't on the first CD either.

adduser pann floppy

and now we can use mtools.

OK, it's time to get that damn pnp network card working.

Edit /etc/isapnp.gone to tell the system you don't have COM2 and that
you do have a sound card.

Now do isapnpdump -c to get /etc/isapnp.conf and reboot to test.

insmod 8390
insmod ne io=0x240
/etc/init.d/network
# ifconfig
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Bcast:127.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3584  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          Collisions:0

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:C8:6C:1C:E1
          inet addr:192.168.1.102  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          Collisions:0
          Interrupt:3 Base address:0x240

add 'options ne io=0x240' to /etc/modutils/modconf
and 'ne' to /etc/modules and reboot to test.

That's working, let's install Midnight Commander and then get printing
working.

apt-get install mc
apt-get install lpr magicfilter djtools
magicfilter config --force
pr -f install.slink | lpr

We want to be able to handle postscript files, so let's install gs and
see what apt pulls in for us. And then let's install enscript and try it
out.

Turns out we need some fonts, so let's try
apt-get install gsfonts

OK, that's fine and enscript keeps all the lines on one page. Looks like
I'll have to figure out how many lines per page the deskjet prints and
edit /etc/printcap appropriately.

/etc/init.d/lpd restart

and we need to restrict pr as well, so in ~/.bash_profile

alias pr='pr -f -l 59'

OK, I guess it's time to get mail working.

apt-get install mutt fetchmail urlview
apt-get install ispell iamerican mime-support

.fetchmailrc (chmod 0600)
============
poll mail.pacifier.com with protocol pop3
  user pann with password ****** is pann
  keep
  fetchall fetchlimit 200
postconnect /usr/sbin/runq

Note the 'keep'. That will come out when we've got it working. And the
runq will fail with 'permission denied' but we'll leave it in for later
when we make this file global and run fetchmail whenever ppp comes up.

fetchmail -v

OK, fetchmail pukes, but I think it's exim doing it. I seem to
remember something from debian-user. Let's try adding localhost
in the appropriate place in /etc/exim.conf.

local_domains = ourmanpann.com:localhost

Now fetchmail gets the mail.

And now we run into something else I remember from the list, exim only
releases 10 messages on each queue run.

smtp_accept_queue = 0

OK, I added this right after the 'qualify_domains' line and all is well.

Hmmm, looks like yodl isn't on the first CD either. Better start making
a list (I'll put it at the top).

OK, let's make fetchmail run on ip-up, and let's also test outgoing
mail.

# cp -a /usr/doc/fetchmail/fetchmail-up /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/fetchmail
# chmod a+x /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/fetchmail
# cp /home/pann/.fetchmailrc /etc/fetchmailrc

This is all working fine. Should probably learn about exim mail
filtering and fix my muttrc to do threads on the lists.

I've noticed some missing documentation, so

apt-get install doc-linux-html doc-linux-text doc-debian

And let's get ready to create a custom kernel.

apt-get install libncurses4-dev bin86
apt-get install gcc make patch kernel-package
apt-get install kernel-source-2.0.36 kernel-doc-2.0.36

# cd /usr/src
usr/src# ls
