It's recommended that you use \"pdq\" if this is your first experience with GNU/Linux. * \"%s\" stands for `` Common Unix Printing System'' and is an excellent choice for printing to your local printer or to one halfway around the planet. It's simple to configure and can act as a server or a client for the ancient \"lpd\" printing system, so it's compatible with older operating systems which may still need print services. While quite powerful, the basic setup is almost as easy as \"pdq\". If you need to emulate a \"lpd\" server, make sure you turn on the \"cups-lpd\" daemon. \"%s\" includes graphical front-ends for printing or choosing printer options and for managing the printer. If you make a choice now, and later find that you do not like your printing system you may change it by running PrinterDrake from the Mandriva Linux Control Center and clicking on the \"%s\" button.", N("pdq"), N("pdq"), N("CUPS"), N("CUPS"), N("Expert")); } sub setupSCSI() { N("DrakX will first detect any IDE devices present in your computer. It will also scan for one or more PCI SCSI cards on your system. If a SCSI card is found, DrakX will automatically install the appropriate driver. Because hardware detection is not foolproof, DrakX may fail in detecting your hard drives. If so, you'll have to specify your hardware by hand. If you had to manually specify your PCI SCSI adapter, DrakX will ask if you want to configure options for it. You should allow DrakX to probe the hardware for the card-specific options which are needed to initialize the adapter. Most of the time, DrakX will get through this step without any issues. If DrakX is not able to probe for the options to automatically determine which parameters need to be passed to the hardware, you'll need to manually configure the driver."); } sub sound_config() { N("\"%s\": if a sound card is detected on your system, it'll be displayed here.

If you're not in this country, click on the \"%s\" button and choose another. If your country is not in the list shown, click on the \"%s\" button to get the complete country list. * \"%s\": by default, DrakX deduces your time zone based on the country you have chosen.
