The network setup ran and detected the wrong card (picked some strange choice) other than tulip which works for the card. I have two nics (one unused at the moment). Even the gentoo installer makes the wrong choice. Strangely enough, if I compile tulip support into the kernel, the correct card is chosen and everything is cool.

I gave up on printing. LPRng is installed and comes up OK. I added the lpdomatic stuff, the appropirate ppd file for my hplj1100 (=ljet4), and the recommended printcap entry, but for some reason the ...omatic stuff chokes on the (supposedly) valid ppd file - unable to parse successfully. Since I didn't plan to run Slack on a regular basis, I abandoned the project. cups, too, is flaky (on gentoo even), and I haven't got around to debugging it. I installed pdq, and I love the formatted output options. Good luck with Slack. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area - WWTLRD? gentoo(since 01/01/01) 2.4.18+(ext3) xfce-sylpheed-mozilla _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
