the installation script only 'knows' about RHEL and Fedora. in other
words, it only knows about 'yum' and 'up2date'. you might be able to
modify the lines around #286 so that it calls apt-get to install those
packages. i dont have debian installed anywhere, so i cant easily do
this or test it.

if the packages are installed, then just put "return;" near the top of
the subroutine that installs those packages so that the installation can
continue.
