What is the Debian way to set ethernet media

I have a system which is connected to a CISCO switch which is set not to auto-negotiate, and at the server end I have an ethernet port which needs the tg3 driver. I need to set the media to 100baseTx-FD but it seems to default to 100baseTx-HD. The CISCO switch is set to FD. As far as I can tell

I am trying to install xorg on an HP 9010 laptop. It was installed but the hard drive died and so I took an old 2.5" drive I had which had linux on it with XFree86 (and a SIS screen configured) and I am trying to upgrade it to work on this new machine. I got rid of the old XFree86 code (I think I

I have a small machine that I keep completely up to date. It ran out of disk space in the middle of an update and now every time it tries to build its dependancy tree it gets to about 50% and then seg faults. It is running package apt 0.6.45. I have copied the old available and status files in
