[aclug-L] Re: Linux scanner?

[Michael Holmes <maholmes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I down loaded the 2.4 Kernel and I have it on cdrom.  If interested, I have
class every morning.  Just email me, and I'll burn it over for you and bring it
to school.   I've yet to sit down and figure out how, but I am wanting to put
it on my desktop.

By the way, My model of scanner is not supported by sane, I have been to the
web site already.  I went in and fixed the power supply and now it works.  I
have also installed a USB port and a USB joystick.  (one of the reasons for
wanting 2.4 up and running.)  I boot exclusively with loadlin.  My old
motherboard does not support this big drive and I have a batch file in my
autoexe.bat file.  Not pretty but quite functional.  I also have a short cut on
my windoz desktop, which goes into DOS mode, and closes all windoz files
properly and fires up linux!
