Debian Squeeze is installing as I write this on my desktop computer. Y'all cross your fingers, 'k? Meantime, does anyone know where installed printers are located? I mean, if I copy ~/ from the Ubuntu disk to the new Debian disk, will my printers be there as they were in Ubuntu? This is a serious question.

Configuring them all anew would be time-consuming. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
