[sane-devel] Hello World! & having trouble with SANE

[Mike Starr]

Ok I couldn't figure out how to install any packages from Rolf's 
repo/site, but it did remind me to check that I do in fact have 
sane/xsane packages installed. For some reason I have Simple Scan but 
not those two. Installed them and now it works, super-fast and 
efficient, color curves, really cool. Glad it's working. Used Synaptic.

Thanks!

Mike
