Hi all
I did a subnet using ip masquerade in a computer with two
ne2000 cards to link some computers to the internet, and it is working
fine.Is it possible to limit the bandwidth of a host in this subnet? Is
there a way that the computer that works as a gateway control "how" the

Because Univ of Washington doesn't allow modified tarballs to be

Well it's funny you brought that up because I was considering just making
one huge rpm of debian and then using kickstart. Kickstart is a part of
Red Hat's install, Anaconda, not really an rpm but I get your point.

Can I ask why debian doesn't include pine? Just curious. I know Debian
has a very strict rule base on the packages it includes but every distro I
have even installed always included pine and I was just wondering the
reason behind not doing that with Debian.

Hmm, I don't agree here. Kickstart is a way of automating the tasks
already involved with a manual install. It does what it's supposed to do
quite well and actually with the flexibility available, I rarely encounter
a situation that requires more "custom" things. Hacks can be included in

If kickstart is a red hat package, you can install it on debian using alien.
Then you can use red hat's kickstart to install debian. :)

Agreed that this seems technically sound, but it would be really nice to
have this Real Soon Now. I think it might be reasonably possible to
backport this from Woody into Potato fairly soon after the release of
Potato. The fact is that an automatic installation system will be really
hard to test

The fact is, we won't be natively supporting bulk installation until
Woody. And even that is in question. As I understand it, the
proposed Woody install system is debconf based; moreover, debconf can

Most of the answers I've been getting on this subject seem like total
hacks, which may work but really are tricks to doing this. I was really
looking for something within debian that's built to do "kickstart" type
installations.

I wouldn't call it nonsensical, but the way dpkg does it is definitely
more robust.
You could add a seperate network link between the two endpoints...
With that kind of data requirements Gig Ethernet might be a good choice.
You could also use SSL for the network transport in order to encrypt the
data to make it more secure.
DVD-RAM is nicer than ZIP as far as storage space goes
