Hi Manoj

Thanks for letting me know this worked for someone else. I made a wiki
page called sudo using the contents of the email.

I had no problem with x. Perhaps due to a group I put myself in?? I
hadn't tried printer configuration but that is a great tip too. Why
don't you put both of those on the wiki. The wiki needs love,
especially for the latest 2.4.2 vesions. A lot of the stuff is about
the older 1.xx versions.

You could put the x problem under troubleshooting (
http://lab.dyne.org/TroubleShooting ) and start a new page about
printing ( http://lab.dyne.org/printing ) and then add a link to it on
the FAQ ( http://lab.dyne.org/DynebolicFaq ).

best wishes

Guy
