- <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> is a higher-level tool as it will
-invoke <command>dpkg</command> as appropriate and also 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>
-Other front-ends for package management, like <command>aptitude</command>,
-<command>synaptic</command> and the older <command>dselect</command> also
-use and depend on <command>apt-get</command>. These front-ends are recommended
-for new users, since they integrate some additional features (package
-searching and status checks) in a nice user interface.
-
-</para><para>
-
-APT must be configured 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.

- <title>Configuring Network Package Sources</title>
-
-<para>
-
-If you plan on installing the rest of your system via the network, the

-source. The <userinput>ftp</userinput> source is also acceptable, but
-tends to be somewhat slower making connections.
-
-</para><para>

-The next step during the configuration of network package sources is

-connect to. Depending on which country you select, you will be presented
-with a list of possible servers. It's generally fine to pick the one at
-the top of the list, but any of them should work. Note however that the
-mirror list provided by the installation was generated when this version
-of Debian was released and some mirrors may no longer be available.
-
-</para><para>
-
-After you have selected a mirror, you will be asked if a proxy server
-should be used. A proxy server is a server that will forward all your

-and optimize access to the Internet on corporate networks. In some networks
-only the proxy server is allowed access to the Internet, in which case you
-will have to enter the name of the proxy server. You may also have to
-include an user name and password. Most home users will not need to specify
-a proxy server, although some ISPs may provide proxy servers for their
-users.
-
-</para><para>
-
-After you select a mirror, your new network package source will be tested.
-If all goes well, you will be prompted whether you want to add another

-<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

- <title>Setting Up PPP</title>
-
-<para>
-
-If no network was configured during the first stage of the installation,
-you will next be asked whether you wish to install the rest of the system
-using PPP. PPP is a protocol used to establish dialup connections with modems.
-If you configure the modem at this point, the installation system will be able
-to download additional packages or security updates from the Internet during
-the next steps of the installation.
-If you don't have a modem in your computer or if you prefer to configure
-your modem after the installation, you can skip this step.
-
-</para><para>
-
-In order to configure your PPP connection, you will need some information
-from your Internet Service Provider (ISP), including phone number, username,
-password and DNS servers (optional). Some ISPs provide installation guidelines
-for Linux distributions. You can use that information even if they don't
-specifically target Debian since most of the configuration parameters
-(and software) is similar amongst Linux distributions.
-
-</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 trouble-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

-Any password you create should contain at least 6 characters, and

-punctuation characters. Take extra care when setting your root

-If anyone ever tells you they need your root password, be extremely
