2.2 on a 9650 workgroup server

[James Applebaum]

Finally got the operating system installed and I just updated (apt-get 
update) from the website, so I should have all of the latest updates 
for 2.2 version. I installed the recommended app package... I boot to a 
command prompt.
Several Questions:
1: I am not able to "see" my fast ethernet nic and am forced to use the 
motherboard nic which is 10bt. Anyone know how I can select one or both 
nics?
2: When I run KDL or Gnome I can only launch in 256 color... if I 
attempt to dexter to a higher bit it fails and drops me back to a 
command prompt... 256 is barely legible and makes the GUI useless to 
me. I have combed the tech boards and I can't seem to locate anyone 
else that is reporting this problem.
3: OK, The real reason I loaded Linux in the first place was to create 
a more stable and faster server over the existing Appleshare IP which 
although easy to use has not been stable for longer then 30 days at a 
time. Now that I have the kernel installed I realize that I should have 
installed the server apps. The instructions for apt-get are not as 
clear (I.E. I think they assume you understand more then I obviously 
do) to run install. The services I need are: Samba, 
Appletalk(netatalk?), Apache(html), and mail(pop3)
4: Finally... can anyone recommend a reliable mirror for YellowDog? I 
am having a heck of a time getting through on the main site (constantly 
being rejected because of too many users)

Direction, Guidance, a good book that will walk me through... any help 
at all that will give me a direction to move in will be greatly 
appreciated.
