Just installed the debian system for the first time, having been a slackware fan for the last 18 months. I have minicom and X and Seyon working, and am slowly going through all my config files; looks like it may be debian from now on....
However, I'm stuck. I am trying to install 'slirp' on my system, and it does not have a .deb package. So, I am using a set of gz files which, I think, were originally set up for slakware variants. PROBLEM: The README's talk about setting up some variables in the files etc/rc.d/rc.inet1, and in etc/resolv.conf. My debian /etc does not have either of the above files. I think the equivalent of the first one is etc/init.d/network, but do I need to simply add a new resolv.conf to my /etc directory? Any help would be appreciated. The binary on my ISP host works fine; however, my own system only comes back with "unknown server error" when I try various forms of 'dip.' My slakware system does PPP just fine; I am trying to set up SLIRP on my new debian system, rather than PPP, for online cost reasons. Thanks very much - Rick Stiphout
