ftp ip address

i am updating a linux installation useing the ftp. however when i get to that step it asks for an ip address. well how in the holy hell do i get the ip address of the ftp site i am useing?

suse provides no documntation for this. anyone ever done an FTP install? if so tell me how u did it

Use the host command. Although it sounds like you've misinterpreted the instructions.

nah, have instructions right. got it done anyways. forgot about the 'ping' command, duh!

anyways its all done

however a few "bugs" one involving AIM and the other the keyboard

Aim displays half of its stuff in jappenese and the other in english, WTF??

the keyboard is funky. z is y and y is z, among a few other odd errors. however it is set to US, and is a US keyboard. if i run the config agian it works right, until i reboot.
its a dell keyboard if that help. maybe i should set it to UK standard

With the German keyboard layout, y and z are switched.
