A lot of people are mentioning the need to deal with the new lpr tools
being at /usr/local/bin.
I found that adding a symmlink from /usr/bin/lpr to /usr/local/bin/lpr,
etc. to help with programs that expect to find lpr at that exact
location.
Using a symlink will make life much easier with a few p
etc).
Get a book on Korn shell programming and the "Llama Book" called
Learning Perl. Learn that much and also read carefully ALL of the man
pages for everything in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin.
After that, see if you, not us, wants to write any tutorials.
Bet you won't want to!
And a lot of changes keep happening. Hurray! So I am going to follow my
own advice and reread all of those man pages again myself.
Have fun!

Does lpc,lpq,lprm work with the printjobs?

I found a new server that uses IPMI and offers using it
to setup your own custom OS. So I bought in.
Damn thing requires Java.
They offered me some pretty worthless advice on using
Java.
I'm screwed into having to use Windows 7.
I've tried the Firefox ESR 32bit that supports Java.
Nope.
Opera. No
install Java 7, it has the medium security option still.
So it works. Really lousy internet connection here. I really pointed
this out to the owner and he says he is going to call the company.
I still can't get the server to connect over the network itself.
I did manage to finally install base plus the bsd's.

I often adjust the width of the window my browser is in to control that
width, assuming the website doesn't fight me and force horizontal
scrolling. I have key bindings on fvwm2/3 to do that.
But definitely add the viewport to the head. Nothing bad can happen with
that and FWIW, it bumps up OpenBSD in many searching algorithms
(assuming that that is desirable).
