Configuration packages

[Sin Hang Kin]

I just finished install debian 2.1 from the net. 


Now I have a mostly working system. However, some 
of them are still not working : samba do not receive my password, my squid not 
working, etc. 

I have looked in /usr/doc with each respective 
documents, they are just the original documents, they do not tell what changes 
is made to debian packages, and what packages were need to further customerize. 


Is there a way to known which packages need to turn 
before they work?

Mixing CVS and debian packages

[Sin Hang Kin]

What should I do when I want most of the system 
working by debian packages but want to keep some of them (namely: python, 
mgetty, zope, samba) update-to-date.

I think I need to take care some dependent problem 
with dselect and also making these compatible with the rest of the system by 
changing the configuration files. 

Does anyone have a good solution? Some guidelines 
for doing these in debian?

APT URLS

Does the default APT urls give me access to the 
recommended update to r2.1?

If not, what should I need to change?

Loading Modules

[Sin Hang Kin]

I have debian 0.9R6 installed. I am loading many modules. 

I noticed that Debian load modules listed from the /etc/modules. 
However, how could I pass parameters to them?

Does things changes on 1.1? Since I would like to upgrade after it is 
out.

By the way, does the 1.1 make use of less instead of more?

Thank You,


Kent Sin.
