Lance,
I have tried both 'insmod' and 'modprobe' for 'ppa' and 'parport'. No
luck either way, even have done the 'lsmod' to check for the listing,
NOTHING. After having some probs with one way of installing should I do
the 'modprobe -r' to remove any installs that were from other attempts?
don
I thought I knew that I knew what I thought
But now I know that what I thought I knew
Isn't what I know I think I thought I knew.
