[Voyage-linux] some questions from a newbie

[Niels$]

At first I like to say many thanks for this project. I tried some other 
distributions for ALIX/WRAP until I found this project, and nothing runs 
so easy and fast like voyage-linux.

Finally I want to build a print-server for my Linux- and Windows-Hosts 
at home and expand it to an Airprint-Server for IOS. The 2nd job of my 
alix should be NAS via SAMBA and a attached USB-Harddisk.

But I have some problems, and I hope, someone can help me. I think that 
the biggest problem is small linux-skill but I try every day to get 
better. I like to tell you at firts what I have done:

1. I wrote a CF-Card for ALIX by starting the Live-CD in Virtual Box @ 
Windows.

2. I started my ALIX-board with the CF and everything came up without 
problems.

At this point I looked a different HowTo's at the web and learned a lot, 
but something of this can also be wrong:

3. expanding /etc/apt/sources.list with following entry's:

      deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free

      deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security squeeze/updates 
main contrib non-free

      deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports 
main

4. I did a update with apt-get update

5. I installed a feew packages:

      apt-get install dialog

      apt-get install ntp

      apt-get install cups

      apt-get install cups-pdf

      apt-get install python-cups

      apt-get install foomatic-filters

      apt-get install avahi-daemon libnss-mdns

6. I changed /etc/ntp.conf

      Changeing the NTP-Servers

      Changing the driftfile to /var/tmp/ntp/ntp.drift

7. Editing /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

      a.Allow access to web interface from outside

          Listen *:631

          ServerName <hostname>

          ServerAlias *

      b.Restrict access to local network

          < Location />

            # Restrict access to the server...

            Order allow,deny

            Allow All

          < /Location>

          < Location /admin>

            # Restrict access to the admin pages...

            Order allow,deny

            Allow All

          < /Location>

          < Location /admin/conf>

            AuthType Default

            Require user @SYSTEM

            # Restrict access to the configuration files...

            Order allow,deny

            Allow All

          < /Location>

8. Restarting NTP and CUPS

Now many thinks work fine (NTP gets time, I can access to the 
CUPS-Admin-sites from my network), but I have following problems:

1. Changing timezone to Europe/Berlin with dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

      -> cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin': No such 
file or directory

      I tried to copy this files from a Lubuntu, but I found out there 
is a link to this file...

2. Adding a USB-attached printer (Brother HL-1430) via CUPS-Admin-Pages

      I used Brother-HL-1430-hl1250.ppd for this

       Status at Web-Page reports a missing 
/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip

      I also tried to copy this file from Lubuntu, now I get 
/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed

3. I changed in /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf thoe Out-directory from Out 
${HOME}/PDF to  Out /tmp/PDF. The test-rint creates a document in 
/root/PDF after CUPS-restart again. But this will not work, if the 
system comes up with ro-Filesystem.
