But what you get is a bare ones command line installation. It does not install a GUI. That's not a huge issue, as "working installation" means "working network support", so you can use apt-get from the command line to install a GUI and whatever else you want. Select the GUI you want to use, and Xorg and the necessary support to run a GUI will come along as dependencies. You can then reboot into the GUI and proceed as you normally might.
I'd be more interested in why your installing from USB stopped working. When was the last time it did work? What changed since then?

Thanks Dennis. I don't know what the hell happened. I always made my bootable disks on Unetbootin and then stuck them in the target computer. Booted the computer up and then tapping (I think F12) a key during the bootup and then choosing "Boot from USB." Voila. No problems.
