Can you supply a package name? I tried yum install noveau and didn't find

Actually I only want it to work in graphics mode,
my needs are minimal.
In which case you are probably ok with the typical onboard video (for

For example, I want to block the BBC websites wholesale or anything with
the words Microsoft, MSN or Hotmail in the URL - you get the idea - but

O is done by the host computer. There are things the printer can do that

Doing something like

Whoopeeedoo. Thats still not the correct way to erase a disk.
Use security erase,

I hear that! There seems to be a major fee attached to the use of the word
