Are you using KDE?  If so, I believe you can use the KDE Control Center (under 
Peripheral Devices > Printers).  You should also be able to edit the files 
in /etc/cups/ directly to add a printer.  I rarely use a browser for it now, 
I most often use KDE (on Xandros).  I have one laptop running Debian Sarge 
and I am almost sure that KDE has a wizard for adding printers (in the 
Control Center of KDE).

   The Add Printer option in the KDE Control Center activates a printer 
wizard.  I found it more
intuitively easy to use than the http://localhost:631/ option in the 
browser.  Now I haven't used it to
install a remote printer.  The Debian KDE list might also have some good 
suggestions for you.

I think the hub does support full duplex. It is netgear dual

These "dual-speed" hubs are still hubs.  They simply provide a
single switch (bridge) between the 10Mbps and the 100Mbps segments.
Essentially, it combines a 10Mbps hub and a 100Mbps hub into a
single unit and then a switch circuit connects the two.



Aren't home-user oriented dual-speed ethernet devices typically 
implemented in the form of a switch?


Not from what I see.  But both are available, you're just gonna pay more 
for a "switch" than for a "hub" since there is more circuitry in the switch.


If the dual-speed ethernet device says "hub", each unit has a built-in 
self-learning bridge which provides the communications link between the 10 
and 100 Mbps network devices. The intelligent bridge automatically manages 
network traffic such that 100 Mbps traffic does not unnecessarily crowd the 
10 Mbps network segment and 10 Mbps traffic does not crowd the 100 Mbps 
segment.


If the dual-speed ethernet device says "switch", then each port is bridged 
individually, so each port supports both HD and FD.

You're rightusing that javascript link is corrupting the
download...however, you can still get it, via good 'ole FTP. Here's how, with
FTP commands in single quotation marks:

logon to the AOL ftp server-

'ftp ftp.newaol.com'

You'll be asked fror a login and passuse "anonymous", and "pass"

After you're logged in, change to the directory where your file is located-

'cd ./aimgen/380469/'

Download the file-

'get aim-1.5.234-1.i386.deb'

After that, you should get a message that binary transfer is in progress, and
you'll be notified when the download is complete. It'll go to your default
directory. Then just leave the FTP server  with-

 'quit'

 and change to your default directory and run-

'dpkg -i aim-1.5.234-1.i386.deb'.

That should be it. If you're lacking any of the needed libraries, it'll list
them, and you can just apt-get them.

BTW, you could also just use the . tar.gz file they provide...it's a compiled
binary file, ready to run. Just unpack it. And it works from the javascript
linkno corruption.

Actually, you can. There IS an offical AOL IM client for linux:

http://www.aim.com/get_aim/linux/latest_linux.adp?aolp=

There are even Debian-specific installation instructions.


 


I did that and that is how I got into the situation I was in.  I tried to

1) Click the deb for Debian 3 or higher
2) Garbage came up on the screen
3) Did Save Page As... and saved it
4) Did (as root) dpkg -i 
5) Got errors stating it was not a binary package so it wouldn't work.

Then I did what it also suggested if I had problems by right clicking it 
and came up with a file linker.js NOT the .deb file as I thought I would 
get.


Thanks

Oh, excuse my quick answer. I checked the web and found AIM for Linux.

You could use this link to download the Debian package:
http://channels.netscape.com/wrap/linker.jsp?floc=at_oslin_1_l3&ref=http://ftp.newaol.com/aimgen/380469/aim_1.5.286-2_i386.deb

You can't get the AOL Instant Messenger for Debian.
Debian is a Linux Distribution, Windows binaries won't work.

AOL for Debian

2005-08-03 Thread Richard Wegner

Hi there,

I hope I am asking in the right e-mail group.  I know of the program 
GAIM but I am wanting to download the official AOL Instant Messenger for 
Debian.  When I try and do this, I get a bunch of garbage on the screen, 
so I figure I do a "Save Page As..." and I type in the filename.  Well, 
I then do a "dpkg -i " and it says since it was saved as 
ASCII I can't do anything with it, because it doesn't think it is a 
binary.  I then followed the instructions on AOL's website saying to 
right click it and save it that way, well when I do that it comes up 
with the file jasper.jsp or something like that.


How can I get this then?

Thanks..
