Hrm, even after running 'apt-get update', it still gives me that and it
doesn't throw me into tasksel:

juan:~# tasksel
No tasks found on this system.
Did you update your available file?

I did an 'apt-get update' right after the initial installation, followed
by an 'apt-get upgrade'.  When that didn't fix it, I'd done the 'apt-get
dist-upgrade' after reading that there were some things in unstable that
required that to be done.

At any rate, thanks again for the help.

Bill
