Thanks for the responses. I tried "apt-get . . .", but it failed because,  
of course, DNS doesn't work so the package server(s) cannot be found.  
Likewise, the Other | Update . . . feature did not work.

Like all the equipment in my home office, I set DNS to public servers at  
OpenDNS, so the djigzo's DNS settings are:  
DNS 1: 208.67.222.222  
DNS 2: 208.67.220.220  
DNS 3: [blank[
