Well, I guess I fixed my problem. My ethernet adapter must be bad. I removed the ethernet cable and plugged in a usb wifi adapter I was using on the upstairs computer, and the internet connection is about half the speed it should be, but way better than it was.
I was also able to boot from PinguyOS Branded disc finally. Though the first time I popped it in, nothing happened. It did not mount to the desktop. I removed it, tried again, and then it showed up. I was able to install and everything is fine now. But I'm wondering if there is something else ailing this machine besides the ethernet.
Wish I could get a new computer, but that will have to wait a bit.
