I just built my own debs from source, with the postscript reenabled
and xprint removed... Isn't that the Linux way, if the developers won't
listen to the users, fork them <g>.
At least one person is offering an unofficial deb repository; but its not
difficult to build. Merely time-consuming, I think it took about 2hrs on
a 1700XP.
If I had more web space (I only have 10megs), I would put them on it.
I could email them to interested people but at 128k up... I fear the next
version would be out by the time I got it sent.
