I know all that but the problem is not get a printer working. I did that a lot easier than setting up ppp over a series of serial, telnet & ssh connections and getting all the intervening connections into binary modes that wouldn't choke on ppp protocol data (or munge it). The problem is yast curses interface should work.
Right, so then you should write a Bugzilla to get the issue attended to by the appropiate people. Here, on the list, we can do nothing, but offer you workarounds.
I consider it wasteful of developers time to submit a bugzilla without first at least trying to see if it's just me. Perhaps this is not the right way to think of bugzilla. I can see that it could be treated like a database where it doesn't really matter if my problem is a real problem with the software, or merely a problem with the ui's intuitiveness, or if the user is just a complete idiot, and the reports are all just data, the more the better, and mostly only looked at statistically. But I don't know if developers actually treat it that way or if every single report costs somebody time. Perhaps either of those ways to think of bugzilla is correct, depending on the project in question. What I do know is I have submitted only very few bugzilla reports to different projects, and I know in each case I spent a lot of time constructing exact tests that prove and reproduce the problem in the most succinct yet unambiguous way. And I know that they each received a few different peoples actual attention and eventually a resolution. So, sure, bugzilla, but here (or similar) first is all. -- Brian K.
