only to the extent that i was running that before i reformatted the partition for debian. it's not an upgrade in the sense of merely chancing the sources.list. i used the netinst version of the debian installed, on a CD via USB. which is of course now disconnected.

well, it *did* find a new kernel, which i installed . . . so there's no network issue.

did all of the above and it still can't locate any of the packages. this is just plain weird.

i wonder -- is there a mirror i could try? i don't see any reference to it on the preliminary stable page, so maybe that's the only repository. if there's another, i could try it.
