OK well if you have a wired ethernet you can try to bring up an interface in the root console with something like
Code:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.99 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0
where 192.168.1.99 is a known free IP address on your LAN and 192.168.1.1 is your router IP - adjust as necessary
Test it e.g. by pinging 8.8.8.8 (a google DNS server) and google.com - if the latter fails then we need to set up DNS as well which (temporarily) you can do with
Code:
# mount -o remount,rw /
# echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf
(remember to make the filesystem writeable first) If you can get to that point you can try updating
Code:
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
Good luck - I will check back to see if you are making progress
