<EM>&gt; Hi,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I think the README file in the SANE distribution needs some updates. What do
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; you think about these points:
</EM><BR>
<P>Great idea. A suggestion: Some installation issues appear again and
<BR>
again on this mailing list, like device file permissions, or modules and
<BR>
module configuration under Linux. Some tips for error checking would
<BR>
also be useful, like understanding the output from &quot;cat
<BR>
/proc/scsi/scsi&quot;. Similar tips for other OSes would of course also be
<BR>
useful.
<BR>
<P>Much of this stuff is strictly speaking not an issue of Sane, but of
<BR>
general Linux configuration. But Sane is sort of an &quot;entry point&quot; to
<BR>
SCSI stuff for many users: A few days ago, I heard the story, that
<BR>
someone tried to use his scanner under Linux, and therefore installed
<BR>
Sane. When xscanimage did not list his scanner, he thought that he
<BR>
should get and install the most recent version of Sane. Of course, this
<BR>
did not help, because he did not knew that he must configure the SCSI
<BR>
adapter... May sound silly, but probably there will be more and more
<BR>
users who will have problems like this one, as Linux becomes more widely
<BR>
used.
