Given that you're getting output at all, the issue would be with the printer

Jeff Miller's question (below) was answered by George Kapetanios: After making
the partition with cfdisk, you have to run mkfs to make an ext2 filesystem on
it. Without this, I'm surprised you were able to write anything at all to the

That's not right. It's possible to set it up to use procmail by default, but

However, it is also possible to do it with plain-old ftp. You have t

tried to Install, I dselect crashed with an error message like:

near line 14530 packa
I have Debian v1.1 installed, and a CD with Debian 1.2 (haven't yet upgraded),

tell me where to find it?
Thanks in advance.
