Thanks. I did:
# apt-get update

And my machine seemed to download (install?) a bunch
of stuff (okay, I wrote down the
output...somewhere...). But when I went back to 

# apt-get install (packagename)

I still got the "Couldn't find package (packagename)
error.

Also, the system is still not bringing up the
interface card at boot, despite having the line "auto
eth0" in etc/network/interfaces.

Any other suggestions? Anyone?

Persisting in the belief that "if they can do it, so
can I",
