Re: yet more net but no install...
>From what I understand, you don't have a proper dns setup. Check out /etc/resolv.conf.
resolv.conf:
search domain.com
nameserver your_primary_dns_server_IP
nameserver your_secondary_dns_server_IP
If you want to install potato, make your /etc/apt/sources.list look like this:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/ unstable non-US/main
or use any of the debian mirrors
... and you just need 7 floppies to install base system, apt-get/dselect does the rest.
