I think I may have celebrated too soon. Mutt and Mozilla still cannot
resolve or connect to web addresses.
Running 'netconf --status' after 'netconf --update' gives me 

"module pythonmod does not exist
? Service samba is not running
Executing: /etc/rc2.d/S20samba start"

When I try to 'apt-get install pythonmod' using dial-up I get something
to the effect that it cannot access servers and that 'pythonmod does not
exist'. Also, on booting I note that the samba daemons have started.

When trying apt-get 'anything' via cable I get the old 'something
wicked has happened' ... I'm running out of ideas. There has to be an
easy fix.

One thing which confuses me is that linuxconf asked for the name of the 
system and the domain it is attached to. I named my system 'Tux' and the

Domain is presently paradise.net.nz ... 'tux.paradise.net.nz' did not
fly
and I have now used simply 'Tux' which it does not object to.

Any ideas folks ?

something wicked is the error when the names are not resolving.
Not a very good error message :-(

Check that you dns lookup is working, if not check resolv.conf for
you dns settings.
