Re: Printing from BDI

Hi Jack

The ghostscript and ghostscript-fonts packages are both on the BDI-2.04 CD and
are installed automatically. DON'T even think about trying a RH7.x package -
Virtually all of them are incompatable with earlier RedHat releases and BDI.
Use one of the RH6.x CDs instead.


Regards, Paul.
