But does it actually work? I took a look at that resource kit a while ago
(iirc around the time we moved from 3.51 to 4.0), and found it not worth
the cost : "free" - since it was basically an incomplete snapshot from one
of the BSD distributions. So I deleted it, of course.

This does not prove that you were anything but a lucky exception.
Hard work does NOT guarantee success -- if you're an honest man, you
admit that. Most people work hard ALL THEIR LIVES and never get
anywhere. That's the cold hard reality.

In fact, however, the human being is an animal. A mammal, to be
precise. He eats, poops, fornicates and sleeps & not necessarily in
that order.
The proper study of mankind is man.
Plac'd on this isthmus of a middle state,
A being darkly wise, and rudely great:
With too much knowledge for the sceptic side,
With too much weakness for the stoic's pride,
He hangs between; in doubt to act or rest,
In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast;
In doubt his mind or body to prefer;
Born but to die, and reas'ning but to err;
Alike in ignorance, his reason such,
Whether he thinks too little or too much.
-- Alexander Pope, "An Essay on Man", 1733

The technical term is "*plonk*" -- After you tell someone off, you
finish up your message with
*plonk*
It's like a secret handshake, everybody knows that means you're
"killfiling" the guy -- although here at Gnus Towers, we prefer score
files.
If you really can't stand messages from someone, you can use a
killfile to cause your newsreader to filter out their messages -- you
never see them. Score files are better -- you can get rid of
obnoxious topics, too.

Go back and look at your own text. What is a "real job"? Flipping

$ tar cMfv /dev/fd0 file should do it. You can add compression if that's
what you want. see tar(1) for all of the glorious details.

Date: Sat, 24 Jul 1999 10:52:11 GMT
hi
I just upgraded from RH5.2 to RH6 and now the printer doesn't work.
In RH5.2 the printer was on lp1, now it seems the printer is on lp0.
At least that is what 'printtool' says.
When i try to print all i get are blank pages. Printer works fine in winblows
and was fine yesterday with RH5.2.
I checked /etc/printcap file to make sure it was lp0
':lp=/dev/lp0' line is in the file.
I tried lp1 and lp2 to make sure but those just stay in the spool saying
the printer is offline when i do lpq
Any ideas what on earth is going on?

You might want to upgrade your Gnome packages first. There were some
