The kernels that are built for boot-floppies are quite trimmed down due to size constraints on the floppies. I'd be kinda surprised if the installer supported printing :-). | Should I bite the bullet and compile a kernel? Either do that (use the 'kernel-package' tools) or just install a new kernel. Take your pick : apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.20 apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-386 Do note that if you move to a 2.4 kernel, some things are different. Most of the changes are not earth-shattering and some are really good changes, but you should be aware of them before/as you upgrade. -D -- Misfortune pursues the sinner, but prosperity is the reward for the righteous.
