by setting up for the network i assume you're just referring to giving
it an allocated ip address (or dchp) informing it of the gateway etc?
just edit (in vi or pico etc) the config file /etc/network/interfaces
give it the ip you want etc etc. below is the configs for a machine of
mine that has a single interface on an internal ip which i'd assume is
what you'll have. the address, netmask, network, broadcast and gateway
are the only items likely to require modification.
if you want apt to use http/ftp sources edit the file
/etc/apt/sources.list run apt-get update and you should be ok. if you
want my sourses.list file let me know and i'll send it to you.
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian
installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.20
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.255
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1

:>
:> Hi all,
:>
:> I have got a basic Debian again on my laptop (PowerBook) via CD's.
:> Now I am at uni and want to setup again so it will pull in other
:> packages via apt-get.
:> apt-setup cant run as it yet cant access the network here
:> as its not
:> setup for this network.
:> So i looked up netenv as that what came up last time - it
:> looks after
:> differing network environments for laptops but it has no
:> man or info
:> page. When I had installed Debina the first time at uni (I
:> wiped it out
:> and started again) it automatically probed and setup the network to
:> access packages via http it used netenv.
:>
:> How do I setup again at a different location ? I Dont want
:> to re install
:> - just setup networking so I can then run apt-setup.
