To quote "David Shepherd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, # 'modprobe lp' gives me # modprobe: Can't locate module lp # # This is/was a stock debian kernel from an official CD. # # Anything else I can try, or do I have to recompile the kernel (I've never # done it before). # Can I somehow grab the stock kernel from a distribution mirror? # # Please excuse my lack of kernel knowledge - I'm learning fast
Well, your best bet would be to compile your own kernel. Many times. Or, at least until you get it the way you want it ;) The knowledge gained will be useful whenever you're having a problem of this nature. Explaining how to compile your own kernel is beyond the scope of this email, but many guides and tutorials exists, like the one I mentioned in my previous email. However, I'm sure there are pre-packaged kernels somewhere, if you want to go that route :) Dunno where, though. Dave
