The default configuration was pretty close to what I
needed; here's what I ended up with. (I'm using the
http:// method).
Of note, entering /var/cache/apt and manually keying "dpkg
-i *.deb" installed everything which had been downloaded. So
it seems to be fetching appropriately. Hopefully this
narrows the range of possible problems.
Also of note, this is a near virgin slink machine. All that
have been installed or configured are the default
recommended packages based on the 2.1 binary discs and
dhcpd.
