This is my first post here, so I'll briefly introduce myself. I'm a
solaris sysadmin, and I've been using Linux at home since 1995, and at
work for the past few years, so I'm pretty comfortable with unix-like
systems. I've been following the monolithic vs micro-kernel debates
from the beginning, and have decided to install Minix 3 and evaluate
it for myself.

I'm also willing to do what I can within my skillsets and time
constraints to help make it better. I've installed Minix 3 on a box I
have, have read the online documentation, and have ordered
Operating Systems Design and Implementation (should be here within a
day or two).

My install, as I would expect when installing an OS I've never used
before,, had mixed results (I have a bootable filesystem and various
command line utilities work, but perl, X, networking, and printing are
works in progress),


I'm going to take the broken things one at a time. Bear in mind that
I'm reading the documentation, including the FAQs and searches on this
newsgroup, so if you want to RTFM me please point me to the correct FM

My first question is how do I set up my USB printer if it is indeed
possible at this point? It's a Lexmark x1185.

Thanks.
