Hello, Osamu, The system is connected to a home DSL network. I did not try to download any packages, but that doesn't mean the install program didn't. I was using the four-DVDs of the standard Etch distribution. It does make sense that the install would hang if it tried to get files from the wrong address. I tried to download the DVD images for Lenny last night, but Bit-Torrent was just too slow (10 hours) and it was not at all clear to me what I was supposed to do to enable Jigdo. So, I will have to make up my mind as to how to get Lenny and try that. Thanks for the help.
