Re: [MLUG] run away fixit??

[Teresa <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Thanks, Michael, fixit finally got through, I did update.  Somehow I got 
kpackage running, actually deleteted a line in a file, didn't look like 
the rest so I took it out???  was in dpkg config I think, I know should 
have written it down.
I have right driver for printer now and bidirectional printing enabled. 
 Still doesn't work, I think my quest is getting printer to work under 
every distro?:? ha ha
Knoppix is more unstable and tricky than red had but better than 
mandrake and I'm not even sure I can boot into suse on here?? haven't 
tried been running knoppix for days!  I don't know  I just like 
knoppix?? or maybe it's debian??
Thanks,
Teresa

Just to state the obvious.. Knoppix installed to a hdd doesn't work to 
well. I had to do a lot of manual repair work to get apt-get working 
decently. Make sure you properly run update on it and keep working your 
way through the errors.
