Edit /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf as appropriate.


service vsftpd start

to turn it on for your currently running session.

chkconfig --level 35 vsftpd on

To enable it to start automatically on boot.

Do:

chkconfig --list |more

for a list of services manageable through the service and chkconfig
commands.


You should setup up yum and update your installation. It's only been a
month, but already there are over a gig of updates to Fedora 4 packages.
That's normal, by the way. Linux is a much more dynamic environment than
the proprietary OS environment.

Remember the man command, it is your eternal friend.

Use the "Now What" pointers we provide in our Installation HOWTO for the
Speakup Modified Fedora Distribution:

PS: Kernels for the Speakup Modified Fedora 4 should become available
within a week. Installation iso images are probably also not far away.
