The beta3 release of the Debian Installer, identified as Sarge i386
Netinst and dated 15 March 2004, was downloaded as an ISO image from
https://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/i386/beta3/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
Boot from CD-ROM. For the Debian install choose English (USA). There
is no DHCP on the local network so a static network was configured.
Sarge was chosen as the mirror.
Configure the time zone as Australia/ACT. Add Root and User accounts.
For apt choose http with the US mirrors.kernel.org (testing). Don't
do any task selection for now. No specific exim4 options need be
selected - set up as a local system.
Note that to reconfigure, run the base-config program.
Now the setup begins. Install wajig
ssh
emacs21

zile.
The /etc/resolv.conf didn't include my usual search line so
it was added:
Set up, for the user account, ssh for access to remote accounts if you
like, to avoid repeatedly typing a password:
$ scp athens:.ssh/id_dsa .ssh/
$ scp athens:.ssh/authorized_keys2 .ssh/authorized_keys
$ ssh-agent bash
$ ssh-add
Enter passphrase for /home/kayon/.ssh/id_dsa:
Identity added: /home/kayon/.ssh/id_dsa (/home/kayon/.ssh/id_dsa)
|
Now copy setup files from remote hosts:
$ scp athens:{.bashrc,.bash_profile} .
$ scp athens:{.emacs,.emacs-custom,.emacs-kayon} .
$ scp athens:{.xsession,.Xresources} .
|
Copy the same files for root.
Set up apt
appropriately:
# mv /etc/apt-get/sources.list /etc/apt-get/sources.list.orig
# scp athens:/etc/apt-get/sources.list /etc/apt-get/sources.list
$ wajig update
$ wajig dist-upgrade
