You could put "lba32" in /etc/lilo.conf, that worked for me running a
drive on /dev/hde . . . this is my first hard drive, but un an ATA66
controller.

Ok, I know quite a bit about linux, but not much about Debian. I just
installed it yesterday. Anyway I have a few stupid questions, don't laugh
please ;)
1. Debian makes my fonts in X too large so programs written in GTK, etc,
look bad, how do I change it to a smaller or 'regular' font?

Hello all,
Some bad things just happened to me. I was innocently trying to update a
few packages to unstable. Unfortunately doing so broke some things. And
then I kept trying to upgrade more and more things hoping it would
eventually all work until I ended up upgrading the entire thing to Woody

My new Debian 2.2 system is still printing an extra page when it prints
documents from my wife's Win95 box using Samba over the network.
Here are the facts:
1) The printer is an HP 5MP with native PostScript.
2) The Debian 2.2 box is an AST 166MHz Pentium which also boots (and
formerly ran) SuSE

Thanks to everyone who helped me with suggestions.
I used magicfilter with lpd and also took care to have the kernel modules
parport, parport_pc and lp installed.
