It was a problem with my D-link router and NOT with the slug or debian
installer.
Problem is described here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/81057
My quick fix was to go into a shell and hard-code my ISP's DNS server
IPs into /etc/resolve.conf before doing the install. All then worked
fine, but the DNS is lost on re-boot. I think openDNS will be my
longer term solution -- assuming no firmware for the router to fix it.
Thanks for all advice.
Dave.
