Re: [Thinstation-general] New question: rdesktop local printer re direction.

OK, now I am confused.  I have made ISO installs and burned several CDs with 
the new rdesktop (from CVS) and ones without it (current thinstation beta 
2.1).  As of today (not sure how long this has been happening, but today is 
the first time I got to work on it again), these CDs can no longer open the 
rdesktop client.  The hardware has NOT changed.  This is repeatable across 
the board on all machines that used to work.  Nothing has changed on the 
server I am connecting to either.  I am truly stumped.
