I know the devs dont really like skype, but, i was wondering, how does a noobie like me get skype installed on salix?

No sir, i have a deskjet 3845 and installed the 3840, which usually works just fine

It seems to me, the cups service still wont start. i've tried running start service cups, but, it still wont print.

Test print reveals "unable to print from image"

Well, as you've guessed it, im having a printer problem.

Using the manage printer thingie in the system tools, i logged in as root, and, successfully installed my printer.Problem is, it wont print anything.

I've opened up a terminal, started the cups service, but it still wont print.

Ideas?

after another fresh install, the audio seems to have fixed itself. -shrugs-
thanks i guess? lol

I just installed salix on my pc, but this time, there was no audio. I did a FULL install, and I checked the alsa sound card, and it does detect my sound card. Or rather, A sound card. but there still is no audio output. The volume is all the way up,so please, if you can, shed some light.

Decided to download vmware, and upon installation, gives me an error about the where abouts of the kernel headers. Not sure where they are to be honest, but I can confirm that my system is completly up to date.

Help would be greatly appreciated

Good point. I thought the whole compact option got rid of it completely, hence the "WHY ISN'T IT GOING AWAY" thing.

I feel like a moron right now. haha

That bios check is still there. It wont seem to go away.

I've added compact in the lilo script, added lba32 as well, and ran lilo after that. When the computer reboots (or just turns on), it says "checking bios"........and then continues to load the computer.



As for the dev-arch packages ( i think it had to do with creating a user account), it says it ...
