Thanks, except that I *am* using ftp.debian.org. Three or
four times, now, each time allowing the "recomended/required"
files to download, because I am not sure I could prevent
the download without "uninstalling" important stuff by
accident. Thank goodness I'm not using a modem!
Could the problem be that I took my base floppy install
images from the "stable" directory, rather than from the
"Debian 1.2.xxx" images? Could I be getting a version
conflict from that? The base install was compiled May 20th.
I knew I was taking a small risk, but what the heck, it's free.
