DISCUSSION: Debian Post-Install Configuration
 

This thread is to discuss the article titled: Debian Post-Install Configuration

Great information in a small article.
I only used this to try to install a printer.
Everything went like knoppix until I named the
printer. Then it wanted a password.
Before I came here my Sarge k7 2004 Nov filled
in the name of my current username and asked
for a password. But it wouldn't take the password
for that user nor the pw for root.

localhost:631 asked for username and pw.
I didn't think this was safe.

Does anyone know why it wouldn't take the
debian pw for the user it filled in when I tried
to printing manager > add printer?

Why would we want to use localhost:631
instead of printing manager > add printer?

Thanks for any insight,
suguru

A great, comprehensive and down to earth list of good tips!
Even for the not-so-newbie I think (unless I still AM a newbie ofcourse).
Well, anyway I found a few good things that I didn't know about.
Made life easier!

Cheers!
More of this!
More I beg thee!
