Things are going downhill rapidly. I decided to skip the On-Disk "DVD" and do an internet installation, but can't get the small version to download to a CD. If I transfer it from hard-disc "downloads" the resulting CD won't do the boot. Now I can't get anything but my last (invalid) installation. How do I get your download to write directly to my empty CD-r???
Also, I can't install Chrome. It bombs off because it can't find libcurl3 during debian installation. And it's right -- I have on disc lots of libcurl's and lots of libcurl3's but all the latter are "libcurl3-abcdefg -- not plain libcurl3. I think I need to do an internet installation, but your installation instructions are nearly useless -- discussing everything but what i need. Meanwhile, Iceskunk is driving me AND Google nutzo. I think I'm screwn.... pb
