Subject: New installation

I have just completed an installation of Champion 1.1 on a PM 6500/225. I
think that the installation went fine. I boot into X and everything seems
good but I am having a few problems. Granted, I have never used an OS like
this before so much is foreign to me. Here are a few questions...
1. I have an Epson 850 printer that won't print. I have tried several
different configs using the Epson 800 driver and the regular postscript.
Nothing works. It can't even see the printer when I try a test page.
2. I am having a problem with PPP. I was using kppp but I can't quite seem
to get connected. It dials and tries to connect but then it says that ppp
timed out. I fiddled with the timeout and still not success.
3. I can't seem to format or mount a floppy of any file system. I was
using kfloppy.
4. Last one for now, can you mount a dos file system floppy and retrieve
the files off of it or must it be ext2? I wanted to try some other PPP
clients but I can download them because I can't connect to my ISP through
YDL yet. If I download them with another OS, can YDL read them?
I realize there is a lot of stuff here, and I will admit, that I am really
new at Linux, so any help is greatly appreciated.
