How to keep both kernel-2.0.36 and 2.2.x? (in terms of lp setting)

[Yi-ping Chang]

Hi, there:

I would like to keep both kernel-2.0.36 and 2.2.x in my machine.  As you
all have known, 2.2.x change the LPT1 as lp0.  That becomes a problem if I
want to keep both version of kernels.  Any body got a solution?

My idea is to modify the initializtion script (/etc/init.d/lpd) to
recognize the version of kernel it is running and using different setting
for corresponding kernels.  But I am not familiar with script language...

Thanks in advance.

Which text editor is compatible with crxvt?

[Yi-ping Chang]

Hello, guys:

I would like to know which text editor is compatible with big-5 Chinese
text.  I have "xcin" and "crxvt" installed in my linux box.  Because my
favorite editor is vi, I tried to open a Chinese document with that in
crxvt terminal, but what I found is some thing like \056\378\053.
It didn't turn these special characters into Chinese but just print
their code.  So if somebody can help me out on this, I will really
appreciate it.  Thanks in advance.

What filter to use for HP Deskjet 520?

[Yi-ping Chang]

Hi, guys:

I got an HP DeskJet 520 from a friend of mine moments ago.  I tried it
out, using 'dj500-filter' of magicfilter package.  It seemed to function
well (paper is loaded correctly, the printing head is moving), but
nothing printed out.  I am not sure if I chose the wrong filter, or just
the ink cartridge has dried out.  The only other choices maybe possible
are 'deskjet-filter', 'dj500c-filter', and 'j550c-filter'.  Can anybody
tell me which one definitely will work before I spend money on a new ink
cartridge?

Thanks!

Problem on customizing kenel

[Yi-ping Chang]

Hi, Everybody:

I am trying to customize my kernel.  Basically, I followed the
instruction on Debian FAQ.  After 'make menuconfig', I typed in

make-kpkg --revision Custom.1 kernel_image

It didn't finish the job.  The last couple lines of message are as
follows:

make [2]: as86: Command not found
make [2]: *** [bbootsect.o] Error 127
make [2]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.34/arch/i386/boot'
make [1]: *** [bzImage] Error 2
make [1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.34'
make: *** [build] Error 2

Did I do anything wrong?  What's is 'as86'?  Is there any extra package
I should install to accomplish the job?

Thank a lot!
