Those will have some good information for you to start. Also look at www.freebsd.org in the handbook for printer setup. There are some useful scripts there. ================================================================= | Kenneth Culver | FreeBSD: The best NT upgrade | | Unix Systems Administrator | ICQ #: 24767726 | | and student at The | AIM: muythaibxr | | The University of Maryland, | Website: (Under Construction) | | College Park. | http://www.wam.umd.edu/~culverk/| ================================================================= On Fri, 30 Jun 2000, Raymundo M.
