I recently put debian on an old p166 box which I plan to use as an ftp server. And I haven't been able to get apt to work at all. I've tried tons of different mirrors and i've even borrowed the sources list from someone else. But every one times out.
I did have some network card issues during installation. Apparently the 2.4 kernel doesn't have support for linksys etherfast 10/100 Lan card so I simply popped in a fast etherlink xl 3com card and loaded the appropriate driver. I am able to get an ip address from my isp and I am able to ping www.yahoo.com and other places.
The first time I installed debian on the box I accidently installed the 2.2 kernel but before I realized I installed it instead of 2.4 I did manage to get the apt system working perfectly fine..which leads me to beleive the problem may be with the nic card.
Any suggestions woudl be great.
