Well I have a box which I installed from d-i RC1 some time ago (when that was current) with the base system only, and then did nothing with. Two weeks ago I started using it as a desktop machine. I did approximately (with sarge in /etc/apt/sources.list) apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get install x-window-system-core kdebase mozilla-firefox openoffice.org apt-get install cupsys-bsd cupsys-driver-gimpprint gs-esp and installed a home-compiled 2.6.11 kernel. I do not have xprt, xprt-common or xprt-xprintorg installed and can print fine from both Firefox and OOo. -- Martin Orr Linux Administrator, Methodist College Belfast -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
