Thanks. Since my original post I tried again with a newer Wheezy snapshot
(just three days later). The results were dramatically better. The first
try didn't even give me gnome or xinit, and sources.list listed squeeze
instead of wheezy. The later build fixed both of those and installed twice
as many packages. It also has a good network connection with just the
onboard network interface card. I never did get Squeeze to install, but I'm
willing to work with Wheezy.
I do have to spend some time tomorrow poking around the X windows
configurations. I think I heard that they've changed, and my old xorg.conf
entry for the serial mouse may now be useless. Gnome did come up fine, but
I will be using fvwm.
