I downloaded the RealPlayer Beta 7 from the RealPlayer website and it
installed fine and runs fine. There is a RealPlayer installer .deb but I
recommend trying the Beta on their website.

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

If kickstart is a red hat package, you can install it on debian using alien.

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
I would agree most of the proposed solutions are quick hacks.
The fact is, we won't be natively supporting bulk installation until
Woody. And even that is in question. As I understand it, the

I read that the beta relaese og kde2 was released the other day, so

You'll need little work on the windows machine (to that machine, the
server looks like as if it was windows, I wonder: won't windows go crazy

to open (eg. sendmail, nfs-server, apache etc.)
Another thing you can do is simp

It's been delayed due to problems with the CD images, I'm afraid. (You
can probably keep up with most of the news by reading the archives of
