Since you're using Debian 2.0, I assume you have the lprng package
installed. I have had the same problem, as I mentioned yesterday. Last
night I removed lprng (using dselect) and installed lpr (cd
/cdrom/.../net dpkg -i lpr_*.deb), and now the problem is gone. I'd be
interested to know if
I've had problems with lprng in hamm -- not system lock-up, but printer
freeze. You might try removing lprng and then installing lpr in its
place. It fixed my problem, it might fix yours.

Yes, you can run your current drive as a slave drive - but you need to be
sure to install the driver for that when you are doing the installation
process (during Device Drivers installation).
It is commonly recommended that you use separate partitions for various
parts of your linux system.
Much of what is customized or specific in the system is found in the
/etc directory, and then all of your data files should be in the /home
directory. So if you back up those two trees, you'll be mostly there, I
would think.
