+
+If you are booting directly into Debian, and the system doesn't start
+up, either use your original installation boot media, or insert the
+custom boot floppy if you have one, and reset your system. This way,
+you will probably need to add some boot arguments like

+ <title>Configuring APT</title>
+
+<para>
+
+The main means that people use to install packages on their system is
+via a program called <command>apt-get</command>, from the
+<classname>apt</classname> package.<footnote>
+
+<para>
+
+Note that the actual program that installs packages is called
+<command>dpkg</command>. However, this package is more of a low-level
+tool. <command>apt-get</command> will invoke <command>dpkg</command>
+as appropriate; it is a higher-level too, however, because it knows to
+install other packages which are required for the package you're
+trying to install, as well as how to retrieve the package from your
+CD, the network, or wherever.
+
+</para>
+</footnote>
+
+APT must be configured, however, so that it knows where to retrieve
+packages from. The helper application which assists in this task is
+called <command>apt-setup</command>.
+
+</para><para>
+
+The next step in your configuration process is to tell APT where other
+Debian packages can be found. Note that you can re-run this tool at
+any point after installation by running <command>apt-setup</command>,
+or by manually editing <filename>/etc/apt/sources.list</filename>.
+
+</para><para>
+
+If an official CD-ROM is in the drive at this point, then that CD-ROM
+should automatically be configured as an apt source without prompting.
+You will notice this because you will see the CD-ROM being scanned.
+
+</para><para>
+
+For users without an official CD-ROM, you will be offered an array of
+choices for how Debian packages are accessed: FTP, HTTP, CD-ROM, or
+a local file system.
+
+</para><para>
+
+You should know that it's perfectly acceptable to have a number of
+different APT sources, even for the same Debian archive.
+<command>apt-get</command> will automatically pick the package with
+the highest version number given all the available versions. Or, for
+instance, if you have both an HTTP and a CD-ROM APT source,
+<command>apt-get</command> should automatically use the local CD-ROM
+when possible, and only resort to HTTP if a newer version is available
+there. However, it is not a good idea to add unnecessary APT sources,
+since this will tend to slow down the process of checking the network
+archives for new versions.
+
+</para>
+
+ <sect3 id="configure-apt-net">
+ <title>Configuring Network Package Sources</title>
+
+<para>
+
+If you plan on installing the rest of your system via the network, the
+most common option is to select the <userinput>http</userinput>
+source. The <userinput>ftp</userinput> source is also acceptable, but
+tends to be a little slower making connections.
+
+</para><para>
+
+The next step during the configuration of network packages sources is
+to tell <command>apt-setup</command> which country you live in. This
+configures which of the official Debian Internet mirror network you
+connect to. Depending on which country you select, you will be given
+a list of possible machines. Its generally fine to pick the one on
+the top of the list, but any of them should work.
+
+</para><para>
+
+If you are installing via HTTP, you will be asked to configure your
+proxy server. This is sometimes required by people behind firewalls,
+on corporate networks, etc.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Finally, your new network package source will be tested. If all goes
+well, you will be prompted whether you want to do it all over again
+with another network source.

+ <title>Configuring Your Mail Transport Agent</title>
+
+<para>
+
+Today, email is a very important part of many people's life, so it's
+no surprise Debian lets you configure your mail system right as a part
+of the installation process. The standard mail transport agent in
+Debian is <command>exim4</command>, which is relatively small,
+flexible, and easy to learn.
+
+</para><para>
+
+You may ask if this is needed even if your computer is not connected
+to any network. The short answer is: Yes. The longer explanation: Some
+system utilities (like <command>cron</command>,
+<command>quota</command>, <command>aide</command>, &hellip;) may send
+you important notices via email.
+
+</para><para>
+
+So on the first screen you will be presented with several common mail
+scenarios. Choose the one that most closely resembles your needs:
+
+</para>
+
+<variablelist>
+<varlistentry>
+<term>internet site</term>
+<listitem><para>
+
+Your system is connected to a network and your mail is sent and
+received directly using SMTP. On the following screens you will be
+asked a few basic questions, like your machine's mail name, or a list of
+domains for which you accept or relay mail.
+
+</para></listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term>mail sent by smarthost</term>
+<listitem><para>
+
+In this scenario is your outgoing mail forwarded to another machine,
+called a <quote>smarthost</quote>, which does the actual job for
+you. Smarthost also usually stores incoming mail addresed to your
+computer, so you don't need to be permanently online. That also means
+you have to download your mail from the smarthost via programs like
+fetchmail. This option is suitable for dial-up users.
+
+</para></listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term>local delivery only</term>
+<listitem><para>
+
+Your system is not on a network and mail is sent or received only
+between local users. Even if you don't plan to send any messages, this
+option is highly recommended, because some system utilities may send
+you various alerts from time to time (e.g. beloved <quote>Disk quota
+exceeded</quote>). This option is also convenient for new users,
+because it doesn't ask any further questions.
+
+</para></listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term>no configuration at this time</term>
+<listitem><para>
+
+Choose this if you are absolutely convinced you know what you are
+doing. This will leave you with an unconfigured mail system &mdash;
+until you configure it, you won't be able to send or receive any mail
+and you may miss some important messages from your system utilities.
+
+</para></listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+</variablelist>
+
+<para>
+
+If none of these scenarios suits your needs, or if you need a finer
+setup, you will need to edit configuration files under the
+<filename>/etc/exim4</filename> directory after the installation is
+complete. More information about <command>exim4</command> may be found
+under <filename>/usr/share/doc/exim4</filename>.

+ <title>Setting Up PPP</title>
+
+<para>
+
+If your computer is not connected to a network, you will next be asked
+whether you wish to install the rest of the system using PPP.
+
+</para><para>
+
+If you do choose to configure PPP at this point, a program named
+<command>pppconfig</command> will be run. This program helps you
+configure your PPP connection. <emphasis>Make sure, when it asks you
+for the name of your dialup connection, that you name it
+<userinput>provider</userinput>.</emphasis>
+
+</para><para>
+
+Hopefully, the <command>pppconfig</command> program will walk you
+through a pain-free PPP connection setup. However, if it does not
+work for you, see below for detailed instructions.
+
+</para><para>
+
+In order to setup PPP, you'll need to know the basics of file viewing
+and editing in GNU/Linux. To view files, you should use
+<command>more</command>, and <command>zmore</command> for compressed
+files with a <userinput>.gz</userinput> extension. For example, to
+view <filename>README.debian.gz</filename>, type <userinput>zmore
+README.debian.gz</userinput>. The base system comes with an editor
+named <command>nano</command>, which is very simple to use, but does
+not have a lot of features. You will probably want to install more
+full-featured editors and viewers later, such as
+<command>jed</command>, <command>nvi</command>,
+<command>less</command>, and <command>emacs</command>.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Edit <filename>/etc/ppp/peers/provider</filename> and replace
+<userinput>/dev/modem</userinput> with
+<userinput>/dev/ttyS<replaceable>&num;</replaceable></userinput> where
+<replaceable>&num;</replaceable> stands for the number of your serial
+port. In Linux, serial ports are counted from 0; your first serial
+port <phrase arch="i386">(i.e., <userinput>COM1</userinput>)</phrase>
+is <filename>/dev/ttyS0</filename> under Linux.
+
+<phrase arch="powerpc;m68k">On Macintoshes with serial ports, the
+modem port is <filename>/dev/ttyS0</filename> and the printer port is
+<filename>/dev/ttyS1</filename>.</phrase>
+
+The next step is to edit
+<filename>/etc/chatscripts/provider</filename> and insert your
+provider's phone number, your user-name and password. Please do not
+delete the <quote>\q</quote> that precedes the password. It hides the
+password from appearing in your log files.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Many providers use PAP or CHAP for login sequence instead of text mode
+authentication. Others use both. If your provider requires PAP or
+CHAP, you'll need to follow a different procedure. Comment out
+everything below the dialing string (the one that starts with
+<quote>ATDT</quote>) in
+<filename>/etc/chatscripts/provider</filename>, modify
+<filename>/etc/ppp/peers/provider</filename> as described above, and
+add <userinput>user <replaceable>name</replaceable></userinput> where
+<replaceable>name</replaceable> stands for your user-name for the
+provider you are trying to connect to. Next, edit
+<filename>/etc/ppp/pap-secrets</filename> or
+<filename>/etc/ppp/chap-secrets</filename> and enter your password
+there.
+
+</para><para>
+
+You will also need to edit <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> and
+add your provider's name server (DNS) IP addresses. The lines in
+<filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> are in the following format:
+<userinput>nameserver
+<replaceable>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</replaceable></userinput> where the
+<replaceable>x</replaceable>s stand for numbers in your IP
+address. Optionally, you could add the
+<userinput>usepeerdns</userinput> option to the
+<filename>/etc/ppp/peers/provider</filename> file, which will enable
+automatic choosing of appropriate DNS servers, using settings the
+remote host usually provides.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Unless your provider has a login sequence different from the majority
+of ISPs, you are done! Start the PPP connection by typing
+<command>pon</command> as root, and monitor the process using
+<command>plog</command> command. To disconnect, use
+<command>poff</command>, again, as root.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Read <filename>/usr/share/doc/ppp/README.Debian.gz</filename> file for
+more information on using PPP on Debian.
+
+</para><para>
+
+For static SLIP connections, you will need to add the
+<userinput>slattach</userinput> command (from the
+<classname>net-tools</classname> package) into
+<filename>/etc/init.d/network</filename>. Dynamic SLIP will require
+the <classname>gnudip</classname> package.

+
+<para>
+
+The <emphasis>root</emphasis> account is also called the
+<emphasis>super-user</emphasis>; it is a login that bypasses all
+security protection on your system. The root account should only be
+used to perform system administration, and only used for as short
+a time as possible.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Any password you create should contain at least 6 characters, and
+should contain both upper- and lower-case characters, as well as
+punctuation characters. Take extra care when setting your root
+password, since it is such a powerful account. Avoid dictionary
+words or use of any personal information which could be guessed.
+
+</para><para>
+
+If anyone ever tells you they need your root password, be extremely
+wary. You should normally never give your root password out, unless you
+are administering a machine with more than one system administrator.

+The system will ask you whether you wish to create an ordinary user

+log-in. You should <emphasis>not</emphasis> use the root account for

+
+</para><para>
+
+Why not? Well, one reason to avoid using root's privileges is that it
+is very easy to do irreparable damage as root. Another reason is that
+you might be tricked into running a <emphasis>Trojan-horse</emphasis>
+program &mdash; that is a program that takes advantage of your
+super-user powers to compromise the security of your system behind
+your back. Any good book on Unix system administration will cover this
+topic in more detail &mdash; consider reading one if it is new to you.
+
+</para><para>
+
+You will first be prompted for the user's full name. Then you'll be asked
+for a name for the user account; generally your first name or something
+similar will suffice and indeed will be the default. Finally, you will be

+
+</para><para>
+
+If at any point after installation you would like to create another
