I t was sitting on a shelf for years, and things get lost. or reused. I had a look at Martins page and what out me off was trying to create all the partitions on a stick. as gparted will only allow one plus swap. I don't think a NSLU2 is fast enough, and definitely not enough RAM to use as a print server. an old P2 laptop with debian 6 will only print one line every 5 secs. A pogoplug V2 was recommended and I may go down that route , I hope it will be OK to use a a print server. I'd be interested if someone has used one as a printserver Thanks -- -- Best wishes / 73 Richard Bown Email : rich...@g8jvm.info HTTP :http://www.g8jvm.info nil carborundum a illegitemis ################################################################################## Ham Call G8JVM .
