Hi, I am a bit stumped, please remember I am new to this.
I have been able to find the files you mentioned, and downloaded them. When I wanted
to
install them I tried to use the "Mandrake Update" feature. When I did, I was directed
to
selecting a mirror ....stealth... in the US and therafter I received the following
comment:
"The list of updates is void. This means that either there is no available update for
the
packages installed on your computer or you already installed all of them."
Of course I can simply install the ones I downloaded already but wanted to make sure,
that
is the correct way. Or do I need to remove the older packages first?
For your info, my background is years of Windoze, certainly long enough to be
dangerous. I
am getting tired of it though, because of the constant push not to allow other
software in an
open and compatible manner.
I have literally no knowledge about the Konsole command features, I am surprised i was
able to provide the info you had requested with the instructions.
Thanks for your help

Hi, I am new to Linux in generel and Mandrake specifically. It is the first
time i am entering a bugzilla report, so please bear with me. I may also be
doing something wrong, simply because i am new to the software. Even if that
is so, the software needs to be further simplified to prevent those problems.
I have been trying 9.1rc2 recently and really like what I see. All the most
important periperals were recognized automatically. There is one big problem
for me though:
There does not seem to be a clear way to install a network printer at the
beginning. I am using a Xerox (sometimes called Tektronix) Phaser 860 directly
on the ethernet. The OS did recognize my HP 45T on the parallel port
correctly. Later I did try to install the Phaser via printerdrake. Every time
the system automatically looks for attached printers and finds the HP 45T and
also installs again. In the meantime - kept trying - I have 6 installations of
the HP 45T printer but still no phaser. The system only appears to be looking
for parallel and possibly USB printers but leaves the network printers out.
Once it has found the printer it autoimatically goes back to the icon of
printerdrake, there is no pssibility to choose to install ot to discard.
Does anybody have an answer, the new distro seems so nice and I am keen on
using it but cannot without the printer solution.
Please let me know, if you need further info.
Dietmar
