I'm just getting started in use Ghostview to check out .ps files, and
VIEWING them has been ok. But when I print them they turn out less than
perfect.. It looks like the text was printed, and then someone went over
it and printed nonsense with the microsoft's wingding fonts.

Hello, ALL!
I've an old dot-matrix printer, a Citizen 200GX, and I'm at a
*great* distance from purchasing any postscript printer. There
is some way of print .ps files in this printer? It's epsons
and/or ibm-proprinter compatible.
Thanks.

Why /usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/bin have been removed from PATH
in /root/.bash_profile? (from Debian 1.1 to Debian 1.2).
Is this a bug to be fixed, or just that now we have to manually include
that in the path if we want to have that in the path?
-BEGIN
The symbolic links tell what is stable or unstable, not the dir names.
When debian_1.2 was released few days ago, it was time to change the
links to point at the right direction. So, the faq is now incorrect.

In regards to my last message, I see that package "base" has been replaced
with base-files. and that Base-files "replaces base" but shouldn't it not
"provide base"?

Hi
I am attempting to install from a iConnect CD circa September 12 1996.
After gross problems with changing a controller and a slightly defective
CD ROM, I am almost ready to run dselect. BUT when the boot up occurs
there is a message that I have not provided any parameters for the
cdrom module,
Some of base is renamed base-files. Other parts have split up
further. You should file a bug against the package which you are
downloading which still depends upon base, if one hasn't already been
filed against it.
