Re: XFCE based LiveDVD/IMG
I'm looking forward for i386 version. It would save me a lot of time, since XFCE4 or PEKWM + web browser (firefox/midori/w3m) libreoffice, gnome-commander and samba is all I need for a good working DFBSD machine.

Regards, Sascha Maybe remove it from the kernel and add it by default in /boot/loader.conf, in case most scanners works with uscanner. I personally made it the default behavior for ulpt, ikbd, ums, uhid and uscanner, to avoid constant recompiles: uhid_load=NO ukbd_load=NO (my HP mouse is confused with this one, I'm using a PS/2 keyboard anyway) ulpt_load=NO ums_load=YES uscanner_load=NO

I don't think this is much of a problem. I would bet that the average USB flash drive size has climbed beyond 4G. Looking at newegg.com, I see more 8G sticks than 4G, and the price is under $10 either way. Help, ideas, testing and comments are welcome. Which pkgsrc release is it built with?

With ugen, sane-find-scanner reports this: found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x0205 [HP ScanJet 3300C]) at libusb:/dev/usb0:/dev/ugen1 The configuration file hp.conf had to be changed to allow users to use the scanner (otherwise only root could): /dev/ugen1 /dev/usb0 option connect-device scanimage was freezing when the last two lines weren't there. I don't know if the option connect-device is useful since sane-backends is supposed to use libusb, but I didn't try it without it. Hope this helps. SR
