    This man is clearly in dire straits. Even his emails are coming out garbled.

    kernel version
    so much so , we at the irc discovered that on KDE environment paar
    print port 0x378 or other was missing on ioports thru
    preferences->information u know what i mean
    <br>I read the Documentation/parport.txt still not clear
    <br>&nbsp;/proc/sys/dev doesnot contain parport
    <br>how do i add a permanent line on lilo.conf
    <br>/sbin /lilo says bad syntax if I follow your instructions in parport.txt
    <br>also read from indian guy how to customize the kernel
    <br>2.4 sources are ready
    <br>to compile
    <br>btw p350 uses .i686.rpm s right?
