Well, you don't need X; use lynx as a browser and use cups and if you're serving windows clients, samba. The following howto will guide you on required packages etc: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Debian-and-Windows-Shared-Printing.html Once installed, add yourself to the group lpadmin and then: $ lynx localhost:631/admin Then configuring printers is a breeze. ...... or I guess you could do it the hard way :) Regards Clive -- www.clivemenzies.co.uk ... ...strategies for business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
