    You'll need to recompile the kernel with modules parport, paride, friq and
    pcd unless you have them already. Then you need to make some device nodes
    /dev/pcd* , and possibly mess around with your BIOS to put the parallel port
    in the correct mode.

    http://www.torque.net/parport/paride.html should contain all the relevant information.

There is shade. Outside there's nothing but the sun, the mindless drudgery of
suntan cultivation, and the perpetual sound of droning voices, yapping dogs and
convention shouting at you to enjoy yourself.
