Read all those and others.  Other e-mails in that thread referenced =20
seemed to imply that this change had been incorporated into all install =20=

images (as there are no PDC suffixes any more).  So I (incorrectly) =20
assumed that the latest Debian images had this fix.  Debian 3.0 is =20
newer than the 2001 thread that first found this console issue (the =20
2002 thread referenced does not mention the console issue explicitly).

I was wrong; this problem was fixed when I got the PARISC images =20
instead.  But this really should be a line item in the FAQ...

However, now I have another issue caused(?) by the netinstall CD.  =20
Whenever I try to install via ftp or http I get an "cannot download" =20
error on files midway through the base installation process.  For the =20=

longest time it was apt_0.5.4_.  I tried every mirror in reasonable =20
proximity.  No luck.

Finally, I switched to CD install and used the Debian CD (the one that =20=

will not boot to the console).  This works, but then it hangs on =20
bsd_utils.  For hours.  I eventually gave up and rebooted.  And I =20
cannot seem to download this file either.

Anyone have any idea what is going on here?
