Thanks Andy,

Actually, I got around the problem.  I had (as suggested in the dialog) 
selected a couple additional pkg sources.  When I reverted back to just 
one source and cleaned up, no more problem.

I'm running etch now with a basic gnome desktop and so far all seems 
well :-X   I did have one rather elementary question though.

Etch installed the 2.6.12.1-386 (2.6.12.10) kernel.  My processor is:

    Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 4 GenuineIntel ~2519 Mhz
    Intel(R) 82850/82860 Processor

Should I be using the 2.6.12-1-686 kernel?

Thanks again,
