I tried both the old and the new tftpboot images on the IPX once again;
the old one uncompresses itself and continues with the installation, but
the new one doesn't.

No, when I enter the ftp://marcus.debian.net address, I get a message
"Unknown method 'ftp' in URL." I also tried putting the base2_2.tgz onto
a server on the local LAN and accessing it with http, but the SS5 can't
seem to find it, which is odd. Tried the IP address as well as the domain
name, but no luck. The other machines on the LAN find it with no
problems. I'll try fussing around with it some more this afternoon.
