There's supposed to be some program, byebye windows or some such, for 
installing a Linux.  I've one such on the net, but I have no idea 
how up-to-date it is.  IN any case, it completely fails to achieve 
contact with any of the Debian repository sites.

Does anyone know which versions of this program, from which sites, 
actually work?  For all I know the one I've got is years out-of-date and 
is using some kind of obsolete protocol or crypto keys or some such.

I'm trying to install testing, by the way.  I'm willing to install 
stable and upgrade.

Failing the easy way, I'll be burning some installation CDs.

By the way, from another machine on the LAN, I can ping the machine I'm 
installing on, and from that other machine, I can also ping the 
repositories, several of them.  SO there is some basic level of 
connectivity.  What's more, when the machine I'm installing on runs 
Windows, it can access anything on the net.

And I've tried specifying the repositories my other Debian machines use 
to do regular updates.  And yes, those machines are willing to update, 
so there's probably no trouble with the repositories.
