John,
Thanks for all the help, I'm having some trouble installing SANE on my FB
according to the article you published on phrozen.org. When I flash my FB with
the image containing SANE, I see no apparent cahnges to my FB filesystem. I'm a
complete newbie to Linux, as I'm used to the perspective of a Windows web
programmer. I thought I could make a more smooth transition to Linux, but I see
that it's no easy task. Is there any books or other educational material that
you could recommend that would get me started on the right path to learning
Linux and getting SANE working with my FB?
Thanks!
Marvin Cox
