Where things differ in my experience is where the mirrors get busy. If

Surely a quick trip to /var/cache/apt/archives and a run of dpkg -i with
the right package names would have fixed this, if apt-get doesn't

Assuming it is a scsi drive I know of no problems, we have several raid
arrays which Linux sees as single disks. I believe the largest single
partition we have in use is 240GB though this now uses ReiserFS as
running fsck on an ext2fs partition that size takes a stupidly long

Not sure you need to make a kernel change, unless I have done so
"accidentally" (ie used one where the change has been made for other

Why download the CD? seems daft to me. Just download 5 floppies and then
let the install followed by apt-get download what you actually want.
Linux programmes are improved at such a high rate that by the time
you've finished downloading the CDs you'll want to do an apt-get update
&& apt-get upgrade
stick an entry for each machine in /etc/hosts or \windows\hosts
whichever is appropriate.

You should not set your nameserver to 192.168.1.1 unless 192.168.1.2
happens to be a nameserver on your network. Since you use a web-based
email address I cannot guess what your actual nameserver should be but
you can test if this is the problem by pinging a server by the actual ip
address.
