Thanks to everyone (and my apologies for not being multi-lingual!)  I
think someone should formally close this as I was mistaken in posting
it here in the first place.  However, if any reader is of this post is
interested in kernel security, feel free to contact me directly.  This
error, which I've tried to update and install (64-bit) is being caused
by a rootkit embedded in my BIOS/eeprom with ms fingerprints all over
it. My repositories are configured by an embedded malware kernel
rootkit.

It has prevented me from establishing a successful inet/ethernet
connection for over two years (it infected nine separate motherboards)
and while now able to connect thanks to live Linux distros, still will
not allow non-root-compromised HD install in the case of 32-bit
versions or preventing any 64-bit install by preseeding the
bootstrap/boot config by use of an embedded kernel written with
Busybox.

I believe based on collected evidence, this is an experimental
framework devised by the folks behind the AFTA agreement, and will be
used on people who use illegal copies of software (in my case, one
illegal copy of xp installed at a business.) If you ever wonder what
happens to people who are reported to the ms anonymous piracy center
and aren't worth filing a legal case for, we're used as experimental
fodder for their latest ant-piracy techniques. And this is in full
conjunction with IANA, RIPE, IEEE, and many others who are
participating in this method of evading US Federal Statutes by
contracting the work to offshore divisions or organizations who don't
have a Constitution or Bill of Rights.

My DNS server and connection settings are included in the embedded
kernel and use an Australian DNS address despite the fact that I live
in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Kinda out of the way for a DNS lookup,
dontcha think?

Actually, you should all be worried, since it means George Orwell was
just off by 25 years.
