[Techtalk] Two quick questions: linking /dev/parport0 andnolsmod, modprobe, etc.

Thank you!

I'm afraid you assume too much of my own knowledge, I've heard of using
runlevel 1 but haven't had any need to use it so far.  To reduce the
number of questions, etc., I'll get the nearest Linux in a Nutshell from
a local library and look it up.  

-on a personal note, I was so proud of Monstro (aka Bertie), I feel like
Dr. Frankenstein would if he'd reversed polarity on a routine maintenance
of his cherished creature.
