    Hello, all. A while back I upgraded my old RH 7.1 computer to RH 9.0 with
    no problems. It retained the old line printer daemon (lpd) that continues
    to provide for hardcopy from tcp/ip networked printers at the office. I
    would prefer to use the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) but when I try
    to install the CUPS-1.1.17-13.3 rpm my computer (Panasonic CF-27
    toughbook) comes crashing to a halt. I've never seen this behavior during
    an install. This result is obtained whether I use the RH 9.0 install CDs
    or download the rpm from a RH mirror site. Any comment as to how to get
    CUPS properly installed would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely,
