Unfortunately, the computers in question are behind a web proxy which
requires manually logging on, so that http access method of apt won't
work....
are we unstuck?

I did a little Woodage for the Helix-GNOME install. I'm still mostly
Potato.
Here's what I did:
1) Change the stable to unstable lines to /etc/apt/sources.list and add
"deb
http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main" to
it.
2) apt-get update
3) apt-get install task-helix-gnome
4) Change the unstable lines in sources.list back to stable. (Except for
the
helixcode entry.)
