Don't use it. Ever. Not even once. :)

See the emails to Dave Kempe earlier, and search the SLUG archives for
sources.list - there's lots of examples to be seen.

apt-cache search <blah>
It's like a local Freshmeat, only better. Once you see a package you like:
apt-cache show <blah>
will tell you more about it.

The rsh-server package is what you're looking for. Remember that it is evil,
and you ought to be using ssh instead. :)

There's a package called "elm-me+" that may be it, I don't know.

You need to install the curses development package, libncurses5-dev.
