is a device called deskjet. I would assume that this device would

I have no personal experience with any deskjets (I use a Laserjet III),

for netscape-3.0 under "contrib".

because /etc/nfsd_nfs comes (from memory) with netstd.deb, and not all people
who need netstd may want nfs exports. Anyway, personaly, I'd say: Include
a good (i.e. empty except for some comments) /etc/exports file in netstd

That would happen if DCON is trying to open, say, /dev/cua0, rather
than /dev/ttyS0. mgetty will get in the way of that. The Serial Gods
