Does Linux use BIOS parameters for disk?

1997-08-07 Thread Chris Brown
I have several old 386 machines around that would be nice for different tasks. These machines have older BIOSs in them that can't deal with larger IDE drives. My experience with DOS is that you need to fdisk and format the drive on a machine that properly supports the particular disk

Printing to a laserprinter with lprng

1997-08-07 Thread David Wright
I thought I'd go with lprng for my Debian 1.3 installation. It's very frustrating that users can't remove their own jobs using lprm in the lpr package. Unfortunately, whereas lpr could satisfactorily print jobs on the printer (large ones at that), lprng can't. For example, I've just typed man
