Made some progress with the linux26 installation.
Apparently the apt-get methods or kernel do not like something in my firewall (FreeBSD3, ipfilter, ipnat). Once I put the system outside the firewall apt-get works. The odd thing is that it worked without any problems on the same system/ip/firewall combo when I installed debian 30r2.
Note that ping etc. worked just fine from inside the firewall.
The firewall log was of no help. I'll investigate further, though I'd welcome any hints.
