Hello all,
I am just adding to the praise for KNOPPIX.
I couldn't get my older scanner to work
so I did put out some money for an
Epson 1660 USB 2. I work from CD so
my KDE Autostat copies in a revised file
for /etc/sane.d/epson.conf from the floppy.
But all works great and the USB 2 is
very much faster so I guess I did not
waste my money.

Best Wishes
