I believe the x86 binaries don't work on ARM.  But a lot of the x86 programs have been ported over to ARM. Are you looking for something in particular ?

BJI,
    You should call  / visit Marvell and complain. I am sure they are aware of the situation, but it also helps to be reminded that there is a demand out there and it needs to be met. Let me know what you find, and we can start a new thread in the forums. You know never know.. we could get others in this group to call them and complain.

Got it working 
Apparently there are two devices in /dev.  I  was using mmcblk0, but it's mmcbk0p1. Once I mounted that, it worked like a charm.

this is the command I used.

mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1  /mnt/SD

** created a mount point SD in the /mnt.

Ordered  May 25,  called twice to get the status. It was finally shipped on July 15, received on July 17.

PS: If you ever call them, just press 0 for the operator and she can check on your order status. Make sure you have your order number, which is listed on their site under your profile.

How do I mount the SD card ?   When I try to mount it, I get an error message asking to specify filesystem. When I do that, I get an error message saying invalid filesystem.

Here is some info about my card.
cat  /proc/partitions

Found it. Had to changed /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon to run as root.
Changed the line in there as
USER=root

I am sure I could also change the permissions on the USB share to allow the Transmission user to have write prev. Which do you think is the better way ?

Sorry about the rambling, I thought it would be good to document this so others may benefit.

Now I have another issue. My external USB drive needs some permissions corrected. Transmission can't seem to download files to it. ughhh!!!
How can I run transmission daemon as root ?

Thank you !!!!  That did it. I could have swore that I had shutdown the daemon last night and changed the setting file but it kept getting overwritten when I restarted it.  Oh well.. glad that it's working now. 

Is there a how-to showing how two install and configure Transmission (bittorrent) on Sheeva Plug (Ubuntu) ?

I was able to install transmission demon but I am unable to make any changes to the settings file. It keeps overwriting it as soon as I restart the demon.
