I have recently install Kali Linux on a older machine and used a network install and the first error i ran into was the mirror archive error so i chose not to use one, however when I booted first, I was stuck in a terminal, I had no network ability, (I'm using Ethernet) and i was unable to update and install packages. Also tools like iwconfig and network manager don't exist on the system. I'm pretty stuck and any hint would help
details:
older system (don't know exact type but late 19s system if i had to guess)
1 GB of ddr ram
installing using a 700 MB CD
