Hi,
I upgraded to Testing a couple of months ago and it was running

I was at home for 3 weeks and there were some quite large

I'm currently trying to network a windows box and a

share the files
If it were me, I'd install the "lprng" package,
then install "magicfilter" which will pretty
much set up your printer configuration file
(/etc/printcap). If it's a fairly standard,
supported printer, magicfilter should have
no problems with it.

this may be the answer to my need for a stable word processor and graphing
spreadsheet for our small school network of 10 machines.
Will the testing branch be so unstable as to crash regularly? I don't want
to look bad and I don't want linux to look
Does that mean I have to install something else if it doesn't? Should I try
dpkg -i? What is the correct app. name?

If it just shuts itself down on its own, something's wrong. When you run
pppconfig, it should present a text-based

It appears there is somethign wrong with the install.
I've reinstalled it and still am getting the pppconfig app coming up and
then quickly (don't even blink), going away. Maybe the disk has a problem?
Is there a way to get into this and what is the proper way to install it
from
a disk I downloaded
Wow. Thanks.
That has been perplexing me and the person
who has been tutoring me is no familar with ppp.
Unfortunately there are soem of us in the UK
who have to plod along with 56k.

Thanks in advance!

You need to be root to run pppconfig, but you probably already know that.
To be in root, am I not supposed to be opening it through the apps pull down
menu in Gnome? And it appears to open and swiftly close itself down but like
