I poked through this list and it's full of useful stuff. Now I know where to go. To me, as an infrequent visitor to RH's site, it's a little confusing where to find this stuff out... -bill- -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

It's not on their errata page, so I assumed it was OK. I hope others on this list realize this. Also, RH6.1 did not detect my parallel port. so something is screwed up with the parport package as well. A fix is to set the alias: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc in /etc/conf.modules, as given by a bug report in the bugzilla system. I would think this should show up somehow in the errata section as well! Oh, well. Thanks to those who reposponded!

Get the lpr package from updates or rawhide. I recommend the latter.

RH6.1 lpd problem...
I'm new to the list here. Please forgive redundancy. I recently installed RH6.1 on a new Athlon box. Trying to set up a remote printer seems to be a problem. I did the exact same thing with a RH5.1 system on a laptop with no problems. Any record of any lpd problems? Or clues on debuggin this? The lpd daemon does not seem to connect to the remote host...
