Dear Everyone,
I have a limited-disk capacity machine (about 130 Megs) that acts
as a firewall and a print server (with lpd and samba). I am now
interested in allowing this machine to accept postscript streams,
convert it into something acceptable for the HP 5L printer with
ghostscript, and then pipe it out to the printer. Unfortunately, there
is only about 7 Megs available on the machine's HDD.
To work around the low disk-space before, I deleted a lot of the
directories within /usr/share/doc. Now that that has been done, the
next directories to delete are the man pages, since man is not even on
that particular system.
But, even then, that would not be enough to install gs:
Need to get 10.0MB of archives. After unpacking
31.2MB will be used.
1) Do I need all those locale files? LANG=C and if I understand
this correctly, I do not need *any* locale files.
Removing all these files will only free up about 7 megs but that
should help me achieve the goal some.
2) What printing subsystem do you recommend?
I have heard a lot about CUPS on this mailing list but I have
not used it, rather I have stuck with lpd in the past and
simply made filters.
Thank you,
Elizabeth
