Yes, according to the samba setup (smb.conf) the printers are
shared.(actually at this time only 1)
I can print to the printer but not share it.

I don't know enough about what the listed firmware does, or how it might
relate to my hardware, to interpret the list. If the problems are all of
the 'hardware doesn't work' variety that's easily managed by keeping a
old kernel installed as a backup. I'm more curious/concerned if it could
also lead to the more insidious 'X crashes without warning, no obvious
reason' type problem.

Cheers,

Tyler

Re: the command to generate locale and set locale

Thanks, but I have found the command on my own.

problem with apt

When apt-get installs a package
it will install packages that the package depends
When I remove the package, the depended packages are not removed.

Is there a command (or a way) to remove the depended packages?

Debian won't boot

For months, I have been booting Debian 3.1 every day and experimenting
with networking tools.  Today I didn't do much except read man pages,
and I'm not aware of doing anything to change any configuration, but
when I rebooted my computer it stalled out at

INIT: Entering runlevel 2

After it hangs here, it starts printing out messages of the form:

Out of Memory: Killed process 2253 (sysklogd)

If I scroll back on the monitor, there are a number of messages like
this:

modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting pciehp
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting shpchp
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting hw_random
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting rtc

 What is going on here?

Is there any way to boot in this circumstance?

Thanks, as always, for your thoughts.

Best Regards,
Vwaju

Use Aptitude.  When Aptitude installs a package, the dependencies are
marked as automatically installed, and it uninstalls
automatically-installed packages when everything that depends on them is
removed.

To start using this feature, however, you need to go through and mark
lots of things as automatically installed (the M key in Aptitude's
console interface) so that it can remove them as necessary.  I typically
do this to everything in lib and libdevel, and also look through the
program sections for things that I don't directly use and know are not
necessary for core system functionality.

Do be careful, though, that you don't let it remove important things
that you use :).
