We built the distribution from this site. I don't have the details.

We do this also. and just to the side I have also found that if i
install 2.2 fresh i can't get, under X, 3 button logitech mice to be
recognised as ps2 with device /dev/psaux it thinks it is a microsoft
mouse etc and therefore no middle button working. but if i upgrade from
slink to potato no problems.

the upgrade path still brakes autofs. we have tried it, still need to
replace the /etc/init.d/autofs script.

How do i find out. I am willing for our site to be beta test site for
debian with respect to network configuration.
The problem i see with the /etc/init.d/autofs script (3.1.4-4) that
comes with 2.2 is that it doesn't read any ypcat files. therefore it
doesn't read in auto.master from our nis server. it appears to be nis
unaware. The older script just fell through a logic progression and got
all the mount points established. home directories and exported file
systems work fine. The script is too complicated for me to decipher, but
i know /etc/init.d/autofs (3.1.1-7) works for me.
