brought the plip connection back up and downloaded a bunch of DEBs
dpkg -iE *
edit /etc/network/interfaces
Now gcc and the network are working and I'm down to 8965 blocks free.
/etc/apt/sources.list pointed to www.uclibc.org
changed it to
people.debian.org/~andersee/
ran apt-get update
apt-get install fakeroot failed unmet dependencies dselect
downloaded fakeroot directly and used dpkg to install
apt-get source minicom
sh: dpkg-source: command not found
Unpack command 'dpkg-source -x minicom_1.83-1-4.5.dsc' failed.
E: Child process failed.
I now have a minicom_*.diff.gz, minicom_*.dsc and minicom_*.orig.tar.gz
