This is odd, manpages aren't in TIFF format. I think it would be great if you could provide us with your printcap file so we can see exactly what's going on. > And last part is about magicfilter:Do any example files > exist with all this magic bytes on magic places? > Will magicfilter work with noPS printers? > What further problems can arise while installing magicfilter? I'm sorry, i have no experiance with that program, I usually find apsfilter to be all i need. > As to flame part of messages of Mrs Lehey and Perelman :)) that's Perlstein. > It is nothing so expecial about my messages we are all > equal here as well as elsewhere,save maybe the fact > that two troubles i had with fbsd so far resulted from > 1)Book of Mr Lehey(see archives for july-august) I don't think you understand, we are trying to help you, there are limits to what you can expect a volunteer to do, telling us to search the archives for your message is just asking too much. If you refered to a url that contained your message then that would be easy enough for anyone to look up. The last time I searched the archives and responded based on that you flamed me for it, why? I don't know, I _thought_ it was the mail you were talking about but of course I couldn't be sure. > 2)Rather "misleading" i quote one guy from mailing list > concept of sysinstall's Upgrade.

The above two numbered items are what I was complainging about I do not know what you are talking about because you don't provide any references to what #1 and #2 refer to. sorry, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
