I had major problems getting apt to work under 2.1.  I wouldn't
recommend it.

It's easier than what you're trying to do now, and 2.3 is a better
release overall imo (better than 2.2, for sure).

Make an iso image file of /etc and whatever other config directories
you need, and burn it to a cd.  It won't be nearly as bad as you think
to configure these things again, now that you've done it successfully
once.  Getting apt to work properly in 2.1 is much nastier imo, and
likely to lead to a much messier system.
