I use gmail, and seem to be getting email from this list. I wonder if it
is because I have it skip the inbox, and go straight into a different
label.

By the time I switched to Debian (.9x release), the ATA cdroms were
working with the kernel without modification. Before that, I would drive
to Pullman, WA, where a friend was going to school, with a large pack of
3.5" floppies and a blank CD, since it would take too long at 2400 baud
to download from where I lived. I would spend the weekend there,
downloading the install set of Slackware with enough packages to be able
to rebuild the kernel, and put the rest of the packages I needed onto
the CD. I would bring the whole mess back home, get the base system up,
modify the source of the kernel to recognize my CDROM drive, and then
build the kernel, so I could finish setting it up on my shiny new 386DX.

Friends would be angry with me, since I would do all this with a 12pack
of beer, and not remember how I did it the next day. (The installation
was done drunk, not the rest of it...)

There was a fix on dev1galaxy, but I can't seem to get there right now.
I think is this link: http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=1688 

it includes a patch for /etc/init.d/networking to back out some changes
that they put in there for systemdon't

One thing I ran into right away, and took me a few tries before I
figured it out; I needed to quote my passphrase, since it has spaces. It
might be good to do that in your call to wpa-passphrase. It shouldn't
have taken as many tries as it did, since I just went through it with a
script I am working on (I am bulding a plugin for awesomewm to do this). 

It also doesn't seem to store the passphrase anywhere, so the user would
still need to type it in every time.

You might try font-manager. It doesn't help with the packages, but it
will help to view installed (or even not installed) fonts.
