Local FTP install

["Craig Bull" <cbull siscom net>]

I have a machine at home that I just installed RedHat 6.0 on.  
Standard installation - I haven't done anything much beyond install 
it.  I'm now trying to do an FTP install on another machine from the 
first.  I mount the CD on the first PC in the /home/ftp/pub/RedHat 
directory.  When I run the install from the second, it gets to the 
point of retrieving the base(?) file, sits for a while, then returns a 
message similar to "Bad message from server."  (I don't remember 
exactly.)

I'm able to ping from the first machine to the second, and the 
/var/log/secure file indicates that an FTP connection was made 
from the second machine.

My question: What do I have wrong here?  :)  It seems like the 
connection is OK.  I just put in a couple jacks for a small home 
network.  This is the first test.  Since the logs show an FTP 
session established, I think my wiring job is OK.  On my first 
machine, I've noticed that if I run netstat while the second machine 
is trying to connect, it doesn't display anything until the second 
machine gives up the attempt.

Any help would be appreciated.  I hope I've explained this semi-
clearly.  :)
