I do have a libsane.rules in > Mepis, in Gentoo I only have udev-early, udev, fuse and vmware rules Hmm. Perhaps I should try another distribution to see how that goes. Meanwhile: $ ls /etc/udev/rules.d 05-udev-early.rules 60-vmware.rules 75-persistent-net-generator.rules 99-libsane.rules 50-udev.rules 70-persistent-cd.rules 92-scanner.rules 60-persistent-input.rules 70-persistent-net.rules 95-net.rules 60-persistent-storage.rules 75-cd-aliases-generator.rules 99-libgphoto2.rules Rather more than your system, it seems! Barry, maybe I should look for a more amenable scanner? This one was only a basic one for my mother a few years ago (she's now 85 and on her second computer!). I've tried finding suggestions as to a suitable device, but not got anywhere yet. I'll try the local LUG next, I think. -- Rgds Peter Humphrey Linux Counter 5290, Aug 93 -- [email protected] mailing list
