Re: Knoppix and apt-get

Klaus,
thank you for your help. Sometimes a little tip is enough to get me there.
I didn't know how long to let the HP script try the apt-get. You answered that question, so I came back and manually did the apt-get it was trying to do. Apparently python-dev has moved or changed names or something. I spent a few minutes trying to find that out, but it didn't matter because your comment about CUPS got me to thinking that I should try that again. This time I found some instructions that worked. I found the driver there that I couldn't find before. The printer now works on Knoppix. 

Thank you again for your help.


Jim

Does apt-get normally take hours to complete?


No. Depending on your internet connection, about 1 minute.


Are the normal
repositories set up in Knoppix?


Yes, check /etc/apt/sources.list.


I'm trying to install printer drivers for my HP printer.  Of course,
HP provides its own script to do this.  I put in a temporary
password and It seems to be running fine, but it is spinning at the
first apt-get (python, I think.)  Should I give it more time, or do
I need to add a repository or something?


I don't know about the HP script you used, but guess it's trying to
access a non-responding server. Have you tried the drivers supplied with
the normal cups present on Knoppix?

Regards
-Klaus
