"Woody", 2.2.20-idepci, from CD's I purchased.

"testing" from the main station. I ran "apt-get
dist-upgrade" pointing to a mirror at MIT but it was
missing some packages so I then ran it again at the
main site to pick them up. I got all the
packages...the problem is they sit in the
/var/cache/apt/archives directory uninstalled, except
for a few crucial ones that hurt more than they
helped, like libc6 2.3.x.

Did it, it made the "apt-get dist-upgrade" get all
those packages (before running that it got stuck), but
the problem seems to be not *getting* the packages,
but _installing_ them.
