Re: AGAIN: Help please: /dev/printer disappeared

[bruce@pixar.com (Bruce Perens)]

Figure out which port you are using of /dev/lp0 through lp3. It's most
likely lp0. Do this:

	cd /dev
	ln -s lp0 printer

I think that MAKEDEV complaint is an internal-array-full in MAKEDEV problem,
not a full disk. I don't know why that happens in this case. Do look in
/dev for large files with the names of devices - sometimes something goes
to write a device that isn't there and creates a file instead.

To remove the old "base" package, about the best thing you can do is edit
your /var/lib/dpkg/status to remove its record. Sorry.

	Thanks
