I'm new to Linux but have been having a lot of fun finding my way around
the complex directory structure. I have Redhat 4.1 on a '486 PC at home.

All was well until I installed W95 on a partition on the HDD which, of
course, blew away LILO. I managed to copy the kernal onto the DOS
partition and can now boot with LOADLIN - great, I thought.

Now printing to a dot-matrix printer on LPT1 is odd. lpr works normally
(and the ghostscript filters are a wonder!!) but when I start X and use
the Redhat printtool it takes ages to start then flags an error - saying
that nenscript is not installed. A search of the man pages turned up
nothing - what is this PLEASE!

Thanks
