let's take the tangent further. are you working with a booted system, right
now? or are you staring at a blinking cursor that you're unwilling to give up
because it's a sign of life? if all you have to lose is a primary
installation that you're not sure of, anyway, what do you have to lose by a
re-installation? the point is that if you have the basics in place so that
you can reboot into debian, it's not that difficult to enable the rest of the
installation off the web. don't be timid about accurately describing what's
happening. we've all been there, to one degree or another. keep in mind that
there are no stupid questions, and ignore the dumbasses who might suggest the
opposite.
