connect to wifi in coffee shops. Around the same time, I has done a

Whenever I do an
aptitude update
it seems to work OK, except for a series of messages at the end:

I cannot get chrome or chromium (or Iceweaasel either) to print a web
page in a twelve-point font on my laser printer. It insists on using a
font that's about twice the size.
It even ignores my explicit request to set font-size in the css file:
@media print{

I've been using lightdm, and it more or less works.
About a decade ago, on another ancient Linux, I could get multiple

When I do a web search from my laptop, connected via wifi to my server
and then too the rest of the world, if it for any reason fails to find,

server, and thus the wrong web page.
This can happen because of a temporary netw

page is http://www.ibiblio.org/refracta/
At http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=118319 it is described

I have a laptop (an old Asus EEEPC), and I need to replace its only disk
drive with a larger one. The hardware aspects are easy -- keep static
