Re: CUPS printer choice

Re: CUPS printer choice

ll don't see any mention of the HP J4500 series. Do I actually have to attach the printer to the laptop to get the PPD file? Also, if I did manage to find, or create, an appropriate PPD file on my Fedora-12 laptop could I transfer it to my CentOS-5.4 desktop? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayl

Partition does not end on cylinder boundary

Does this matter? If so, what can you do about it? I get it after partitioning with fdisk, choosing partitions of size 50GB, etc. Is it really better to give the block count? Incidentally, I notice that lshal takes a block as 512B, while fdisk has 1kB blocks. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail

Re: Upgraded F14 -> F15, now how do I use this?

I don't agree. Whoever distributes the new version should include some file explaining how to use it (preferably), or where to look for information. Also I don't think this "bleeding-edge" attribute is an excuse for a lack of documentation. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard

Re: Fedora 15 Doesn't started

reen? In any case, if it were me I'd download and burn a Fedora Live CD, and see if that worked. If that didn't work, I'd download and burn a Knoppix CD, and look at the setup with that, in particular /boot/grub/grub.conf (if nothing ever appears on the screen). -- Timothy M
