ok. Now that I've seen the installed package list it seems that you do
have xfs installed but probably not running. Switch back to:
FontPath "unix/:-1"
and do
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart
then startx. Though I don't know why just using fontpaths didn't work...
Actually, run
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs status
first. That will tell you if it claims to be currently running, which I
suppose is really just academic, but I'd be interested to know.

ok, now this is odd. I don't have "update" in my file. I don't know what
it means though, so probably best to leave it.

right. This probably explains why urpmi decided it was unable to
download those files...

why are you using "noipdefault"? does it not work otherwise?
If you're having problems with this I really recommend using linuxconf.
Can any other sluggers give some help here? I'm not very good with
dialup systems.
