Subject line says it.  Would someone be so nice as to let me know of a
site where I could obtain one with the int-less prtr driver, or send
me e/mail to make arrangements?  I need to print.  (Actually, it would
be nice if the interruptless printer driver were automatically
included in the main distribution, since we're not on Vaxen or Suns
and the whole point is to support 386's, which are going to more than
likely have lpt ports and non-Postscript printers on them anyway when
people switch over from MS-DOS).

Also, it would be nice to have one with a second hard drive supported
automatically, too, so that when I get a second ESDI, I can just hook it
up and reboot.

(BTW this is unrelated, but I cannot get my date to set right. Is this
REALLY something that has to be compiled in? Or is there just a time-
zone file somewhere? I've wondered this for months...)

Thanks to any/all who respond.
