I just built my own debs from source, with the postscript reenabled and xprint removed... Isn't that the Linux way, if the developers won't listen to the users, fork them <g>. At least one person is offering an unofficial deb repository; but its not difficult to build. Merely time-consuming, I think it took about 2hrs on a 1700XP. If I had more web space (I only have 10megs), I would put them on it. I could email them to interested people but at 128k up... I fear the next version would be out by the time I got it sent. -- The problem the Dems have is that the more people hear their message, the more people despise them. -- Jeffrey C.
