Printing on an HP LaserJet IIIp

Hey Debs, I'm trying to set up my HP LaserJet IIIp printer and I can't quite get it to work. I'm using printtool on my Potato box. (I'm not sure if this is bad because printtool is in the unstable distribution right now, but it seems to work OK.) Right now I can succesfully perform the test "Pr

Re: upgraded libc6 and libc6 and broke my system (Woody)

Hi, I have been following this thread today, very closely. Here is my question,I did an apt-get -f install dist-upgrade (in unstable) this morning (as well as yesterday). So, I am sure that I am running this libc6 package that is breaking everything for everybody. However, I haven't had any p

Partition question

I've been using Mandrake, but want to try using Debian. Mandrake puts the kernel in /boot. So it was nice to make /boot one partition and / in another. I tried installing 2.2 but couldn't figure out how to make the installer do that. Any suggestions? dar -- Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus (
