It seems we are going in circles. You will know what I mean looking at this console
script
(empty lines added for readability):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# ls *.rpm
drakconf-9.1-11mdk.i586.rpm harddrake-ui-9.1-26mdk.i586.rpm

It seems to be asking for the same file, which is available for install. I have not
found any file
without the extensions i586.rpm, so I am sure that is what you wanted me to download.
HMMM????

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
