Hmm, yes, looking back, it does seem rather insane that I asked those
questions. However, you may be able to answer them by using a bootable CD
such as Knoppix.
On the other hand, if your system is fresh off an install, you may want to
try again with the just released pre RC2 version. It's very unusual for
your system to end up in this state fresh off an install.
You indicated that you will try with a slightly older install CD. If that
worked before, it should work again, and the beauty of Debian is that you
can easily upgrade your system from now until the hardware dies without
ever having to reinstall.
Good luck, and if you still have problems, post some specifics in a new
thread and we'll try to help.
