I am foolishly unclear about what file you two are referring to. In the
end I used my custom kernel on a set of potato floppies, and this went

Just to reiterate: I believe the problem was that the http connection
process used to download the base system from the internet is broken
under woody. The system could not even hit our proxy server, never mind
connect to ftp.uk.debian.com
