I have to care for and feed 10 machines (eX-Pee Pro [ha, ha]) at work. Not one of them gets by without rebooting during most updates. I added a real modem to one of them. Not even state of the art, but one about 4 years old. It needed a driver to make it work. Not an eX-Pee driver; a 2K driver. The eX-Pee driver won't install. 2 have Laserjet printers on them. HP 4 as a matter of fact. They work fine. As Laserjet III, not 4. As long as I don't need the 4 features, that is good enough. But it's not right. Model 4 isn't new by any stretch. I added a CD writer to one. I can read the drive. I haven't been able to get it to write. Yes, I installed drivers. Yes, Winders says I can write to it, as does Nero. But I haven't even been able to successfully make a coaster with either on that drive yet. I installed the same drive on linux and burned ISOs and music CDs, so the drive works. And I even wrote on one of the CDs that Nero said that it wrote on (meaning Nero never wrote anything). One machine drops networked drives while they're in use. 3 of them refuse to keep the permissions I set on them. None of them allow anyone to change passwords (though this might be because of the way our domains are structured and not the fault of eX-Pee; we'll find that out in the next couple of weeks when our domain structure changes). If your claim is to be believed, I'd hang out a sign and charge people to come and look at the machine. I haven't had a quarter of the luck on any single machine you say you've had! -- Well, what was the ham cured OF? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
