after I installed 1.1 I noticed that /etc/termcap and the termcap libs are

Yes, it's possible. Bear in mind that it will be necessary to run an X
server for each VC, which will take a lot of memory.

Does debian 1.1 observe the arrangement of the Linux kernel with
regards to include files etc? ie should there be symlinks /usr/include
to include and asm subdirectories in /usr/src/linux?

doesn't multi-task while rendering fonts. If this is a problem, you
should consider setting up a font server.
I suppose I should write some instructions on how to enable the font
server in Debian.
