vmware printer etc

[Keith Antoine]

I am being forced to give Caldera eServer 3.1.1 away as a bad choice. I have 
installed it innumerable times with various settings but it will NOT install 
my printer as a usb_printer, parallel yes usb no; I cannot get networking 
with vmware although all other distros are fine both with the printer and 
vmware. Being a server it should not have a problem with vmware bnut it does.
Printer is an Epson 760, this is the first time I have had problems withit.

I have been unable to compile and install kernel 2.4.18, however 2.4.17 works 
ok: 18 says that it cannot VFS: cannot open root device "hdc7" or 16.07. Grub 
menu.lst has identical entries for 17 and 18 just the differing numbers.

It probably works fine just as a server and no recompiling or playing with 
software, but most users expect more today for their bucks.

I am going to try the WS 3.1.1 and see if that will allow the install of 
printer and vmware networking. 

Frustration is setting in so its about time I bit the bullet. I am not 
totally happy with any distro these days as I was with Calder up to 2.4, so 
it will be a compromise.
