Hi, I noticed that in debian etch none of the tools for autoconfiguration
stuff like autoconf, automake and other tools like this are not installed.
If I do apt-get install autoconf it wants me to manually install more tools.
Is there a package group name I can give apt-get that will install all of
these tools to configure, build and install stuff like autoconf and
automake?

try aptitude install build-essentials -r also aptitude install deb-src -r.
The -r switch tells aptitude and apt-get to get everything that's
recommended by a particular package for installation. It takes up a bit
more disk space but runs on the same principle as Rule 1 for the homeless;
bring clotheing with you since if you need it you can put it on, if you
need it and didn't bring it you may not be able to put it on. If you
don't need the clotheing you can always take it off.
