Re: linux-lp

Yep. If you want a newer version, I have it, and it is more open. Still
1.2.13 based, but you can add your own filesystem to it. I'll write a
howto real soon now [tm]. How do you suggest to do that ?
I'd say, buy 2 boxes of formAtted diskettes and write them. All you have
to do is rawride or dd... Then sell them for NIS 10 each. If someone does
not like them, he can still use the diskette (a NIS 4 value ;). Unlike
CDs, diskettes make bad beer coasters...
One warning: Old diskettes can't be used for linux-lp. You need 1420 good
sectors on it, without errors. The chances for a diskette that has one bad
sector to spoil the game are about 1420:1. See what I mean ?
