Well, the network is behind a firewall, that does allow http
and ftp and nothing else. Because I didn't enter our proxy,
I'm not sure, what happened, DNS will fail surely. After
ten or twenty seconds I got bored and pressed ^C. Maybe one

Trying to update the package database. If anything fails,
please press ^C (control key and c key at the same time).
[apt-get update, etc.]
