More on installfest in general:

1. Thanks to all who participated!!!

2. Some problems solved

   a. Yuko - unable to get USB printer working on a Gentoo laptop.
Answer: gimp-print-cups (or similar) package provides additional PPD
setups beyond the strictly minimalist set provided by CUPS.

   b. Woody - got his new wireles card working on a desktop.
Anser: needed a later version of the vendor-supplied software.

   c. Siegfried - uanable to get NTFS mounts to work on his Fedora system.
Answwer: the version of the ntfs module he had installed appered to be
corrupt. rmp -e followed by rpm -ivh of the package solved the
problem.

      the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not
      smart enough to debug it.
