The installation procedure identified (correctly) eth0 as an intel nic and eth1 as a firewire-bridged nic (Sony i-link'd docking station). The procedure only allowed for automatic DHCP discovery. When that failed, it insisted that I give the whichever nic a fixed ip, netmask, name server, gateway (fwiw, I'm familiar with setting up lans, wlans). I followed this procedure once for each of the nics. Each time, it reported failure when trying to establish mirror sites. I'm happy to help investigate! But, since the lappy is in standalone status, I can't exactly do a dump. The only option for file-transfer is using a usb flash drive. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find or see where the key is mounted. If you can point me to a debian primer on usb flash drives, I'd continue giving you feedback. thanks!
