How can I get and install the Debian distribution from a tape?

The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ: Getting and Installing Debian GNU/...
present, installing packages directly from tape is not supported. One can however, use tar, cpio, or afio to copy Debian archive files onto a tape, then copy them onto your local disk for installation. In the same vein, floppy disks containing "tar" files would have to be copied onto a local disk before they could be managed with the Debian package tools.

How should I install a non-Debian program?

The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ - Debian??LFS??Gentoo?????? - Linux...
Files under the directory /usr/local/ are not under the control of the Debian package management system. Therefore, it is good practice to place the source code for your program in /usr/local/src/. For example, you might extract the files for a package named "foo.tar" into the directory /usr/local/src/foo. After you compile them, place the binaries in /usr/local/bin/, the libraries in /usr/local/lib/, and the configuration files in /usr/local/etc/.

Short MS-DOS filenames: If you are trying to place Debian package files onto MS-DOS formatted disks, you will find that their names are generally too long, and do not conform to the MS-DOS 8.3 filename limitation.

Are there any caveats about using NFS-mounted filesystems and NcFTPd?

NcFTPd: Frequently Asked Questions: System Administration
Besides the home directory issue, it's usually a bad idea of have your FTP-accessible data be in an NFS-mounted directory. That would mean that users downloading files would cause the data to travel over the network twice ? once from the NFS server to the FTP server, and then again from the FTP server out to the client. If you want NFS and FTP to access the same data, try to have the data NFS exported from the same machine the FTP server is running on.

Is it okay to point Polipo's on-disk cache to an NFS-mounted directory?

Polipo FAQ
This should in principle work with NFSv3 except if your NFS implementation is buggy (but see below about Linux). If you run the proxy (polipo) and the expiry process (polipo -x) on different hosts, you might (if your LAN is very noisy, your NFS implementation very primitive, and you're very unlucky) get I/O errors and broken connections, but no government corruption should happen.

Having downloaded these files to a working directory, run the following commands: gunzip -c cernlib_2006.dfsg.2.orig.tar.gz | tar xf - in question 2.

I'm getting slow write performance when copying data to an NFS mounted XFS. What can I do?
