But does it handle dynamic IP address assignment nicely? Previous diald

The HP Jet Direct network interface prints out a banner page for all jobs
sent to it, whether or not one uses ":sh:" in one's printcap file.
To turn the banner off, one must use a command of the form:
lpr -h [other-flags] filename
I would like to be able to specify the '-h' flag to lpr in my

I just installed mailagent and ma having problems setting it up.
I followed the directions in the faq and it appears to work for mail sent
locally but all the filters appear to be ignored for mail coming in from
outside the system.
Also I am using smail rather than sendmail for mail handlin

I just went through a base upgrade from 0.93R6 to 1.1 using Dale Scheetz's
upgrade notes. Before I begin upgrading anything else, I though I would make
some comments.
Firstly, things went very smoothly. However, there were some minor snags:
1) modconf depends on dialog, and I didn't have dialog i

Hi,
I'm a new Debian user. I just installed 0.93R6 4 weeks ago and
upgraded to 1.1 last week following Dale's instructions. My system is
now up to date but I have problems configuring my Orchid Fahrenheit
ProVideo 64 video card.
This card uses the S3 Vision 968 Chipset, whith a Bt485 RAMDAC and
I'm configuring a fresh install of 1.1. I can only start pppd as root.
I found that /etc/ppp had permisions of 700. After changing that it
still can only be run as root. Comparing "strace" output shows that
it may be failing doing an ioctl on /dev/ttyp0. Changing the permissions
of this tty to 666

I have a HP laser printer model LJ5P. I always use
gs as my filter for postscript files. Unfortunately the
drivers in gs only access the low resolution mode in
my printer (plain "laserjet" driver). Does anyone has
the driver for 600 dpi mode, for ghostscript?
sorry if I am asking

My installtion of 1.1 had an error message about not being
able to find uname.
Some things appear not installed. In particular,
no /dev/xconsole
no /dev/ps2mouse (Module not loaded)
Can I do these by hand?

In Debian 1.1 beta, there seams to have no man page installed for the gs
package, there is a directory /usr/doc/gs full of ghostscript documents
though. Do one really need the gs man pages? If so, how to install one?
