Hi,
as suggested by you all I have upgraded my system to bf24 and now am able to get a so so X. The X throughput is still not great.
But the 2 problems still come to haunt me time and again
1) I still cant install the intel dri driver package
The Xfree86 is ----
ginie:/home/shatam# XFree86 -version
This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any
way. Bugs may be reported to XFree86@XFree86.Org and patches submitted
to fixes@XFree86.Org. Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions,
please check the latest version in the XFree86 CVS repository
(http://www.XFree86.Org/cvs)
XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
Release Date: 21 December 2001
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.17 i686 [ELF]
Module Loader present
and my lsmod is ---
ginie:/home/shatam# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
nls_cp437 4384 2 (autoclean)
keybdev 1664 0 (unused)
usbkbd 2848 0 (unused)
input 3072 0 [keybdev usbkbd]
usb-uhci 20708 0 (unused)
usbcore 48032 0 [usbkbd usb-uhci]
2) I still cant apt-get update (the same problem i.e. (1.0.0.0) hang persists.)
I suspect the route output will give you a clue ---
ginie:/home/shatam# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Just to rebrief I am using a DSL router (192.168.1.1) and an ethernet card whose ifconfig shows ---
ginie:/home/shatam# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:A1:32:E1:7E
