Hi,
=20
To get header-files for many packages, you should probably install the =
devel-versions for many of them. For instance, libc-devel might be a =
package-name.
=20
apt-get update doesn't do much; you also have to do apt-get upgrade =
afterwards. 'update' only updates the package-list of available packages =
/ versions. 'upgrade' upgrades your packages on your system.
=20
Have a look at the debian website, http://www.debian.org/ and check =
their mailing lists. From the front-page you should be able to go to a =
search-page to search for packages. When you found a package it should =
also list dependancies. I think that you should also be able to find out =
from there what the corresponding devel / header package should be for =
each package.
=20
I've used Debian for quite some time; if you're not interested in a GUI =
I think it would be a good choice.
I haven't used it for a few years though and with coLinux I decided to =
go for the gentoo - image, to try something new.
=20
Success with it,
=20

I've read 'Networking with coLinux' manual at Wiki's site and set up =
networking successfuly using NAT on WinXP. I've already updated system =
with 'apt-get update' and everything seemed to work perfect.=20
=20
I noticed that there's no gcc compiler. I used 'apt-get install gcc' to =
install it.
I can't find header files in include path too when compiling source:
stdio.h , netdb.h , time.h , netinet/*.h , sys/*.h ...etc. Are these =
headers included in some package? How can I install them? =
/usr/local/include is empty.
=20
Maybe I should try different root file system than Debian?

Hi Blade,
=20
apt-get install is your friend; check the debian documentation... I =
don't know the exact package names. ftp client: the 'simple' one is in a =
package inetutils or something like that. You can try ncftp, which =
should be just: apt-get install ncftp. irc: don't use it, so you're on =
your own... links / lynx: apt-get install links / apt-get install lynx =
should do your trick.
=20
Of course you do need to get basic networking to work first. Can you =
access the network at all? Does, for instance, 'apt-get update' work?
If not, you need to set up networking infrastructure first, using =
perhaps an http proxy.
=20
