It sure looks like your network is unreachable. Are you _sure_ you are
connected?

Can you reach anything via a browser?

The downside (small) to that is that the desktop installs expect your
network connections to be handled by network-manager, and don't start the
connections until you login to the desktop, so you'd then have to
reconfigure the network, anyway.

You're absolutely right, I wasn't connected. I could run nslookup on the address, but not a ping. Pestilence from the IRC channel walked me through a few things, then found that /etc/network/interfaces wasn't setup correctly. After a quick modification, I'm apt-get'ing like a pro.


Thanks for all the help!
