Okay, if you got the ftp installation working, then there shouldn't be a

Okay, I have gmac ethernet working w/ BenH's 2.2.15pre3 on a sawtooth...

Generally the files correspond...ie if you need libxpm.so.3, it's probably
in the libxpm rpm, or the libxmp-devel rpm or something along those
lines....

Well, most likely transparently to you...that's the ideal anyways :-)

eth2? Why are you running off of eth2? Built in ethernet is eth0. Do you
have a special ethernet card? Otherwise, you use eth0...

It's not that eth2 is a module, it's a device. eth refers to your network
driver. Like hdXY refers to partition Y on ide drive X, ethX refers to the
X interface, built in is (AFAIK) generally eth0.
I would go into linuxconf, and make sure that your basic ethernet settings
are for eth0, NOT eth2...
