I have the Epson Stylus color 740 that I am using under usb. I don't know how
the "i" model differs.
I got myself printer drivers from www.turboprint.de. Works like a charm. The
pages come out centered and I can adjust the margins. I tried pdq but wasn't
quite satisfied with it. Anyway, that's

On the other hand try "parted". It's a utility with pretty much the same
functionality as Partition Magic. It will even resize your ext2 partitions. I
have used it for this purpose and it worked out great.

/dev/cdrom is a soft link to your cdrom device. It should link to /dev/hdc in
your case.

I faced a similiar problem before, but reversed :).
Make sure the "modes" line in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 reads like this:
Modes "640x480" "800x600"
X creates a virtual screen corresponding to the largest screen resolution and
uses the first entry as the default startup resolution.

Absolutely! "Dock Application Bar" can be accessed from
Panel => Add => Extension menu. There is a bug that may not allow you to
display all your dockapps. You can resolve this by writing a startup script
that will launch your dockapps.

Hi Brian,
I recently went through two upgrade cycles - from stable (AKA Potato) to
testing (AKA Woody), and then to unstable (AKA Sid).
On Sid about a 100 or so packages are updated everyday. A few weeks ago, I
had a severely disabled system when the PAM modules failed to function. In
essence,

It has to do with keymapping. I am feeling too lazy to look up my notes now,

In the meanwhile use for Home and for End, if you aren't

Could you please provide more information? It would help to know what your

what symptoms this has caused? Were you not able to boot into Linux; files
