lspci should list your IRQs I guess?

Slackware comes with a utility called apsfilter, it's a script that makes configuring
a printer very easily. You may need additional packages (pnm2ppa if I recall)
if your printer is a winprinter.

It is located at /usr/lib/apsfilter/SETUP. Give it a try. There are other utilities
like Turboprint (http://www.turboprint.de), but I never used it.

About mail, I would not recommend Balsa. KMail is pretty complete, it is my
choice, also there is Evolution for Gnome that is the closest to Outlook you
will get in Linux.

About the computer shutting off, you will have to set it on the kernel. Then
'init 0'...

HIH a little and excuse my english,

Mi.
