Point taken.
Actually, it looks like I *am* having connectivity problems (sorry,
just got the laptop from a friend) - I'm not able to visit that site,
unfortunately. I downloaded the debian.exe file on another computer
and copied it over. The Wikipedia article on the installer
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/win32-loader_(Debian)) mentions that
there's a way to have it get it's data from the CD-ROM drive, but so
far I haven't figured it out.
I'll see if I can't resolve my networking issue and then I'll try
that. In the meantime, do you have any suggestions for how I might fix
my problem without the web?
