[sane-devel] few newbie questions/problems

[steve]

Hi everyone.

He's right. I put up an unofficiial howto last year which worked but got loads 
of flack from the list as 'that that's not the way we should do it' sort of 
stuff. With vuescan working out of the box for most scanners for $40. . . 
Well.

Cheers, Steve.
