The installer does not put the statement "alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc" in the conf.modules and as a result printool fails and parallel port printers are not enabled.

does this still occur using 6.2?
Brock, I think this one has been resolved for a bit now. It was a "gotcha" in 6.1, but was fixed for 6.2; at least, it's fixed on all of the 6.2 boxes I've installed around here and I don't have anything doing it in my ks.cfg :)
