Oliver> the backends are not compiled into your kernel. sane only<br>

Correct, I mis-typed here, and didn't proof read enough before<br>
|
|||
|
|
sending. <br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Oliver> The libraries are installed in /usr(/local)/lib/sane<br>
|
|||
|
|
Oliver> and all you have to pay is about 7 MB harddiskspace.<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|

|
|
It's not so much the disk space, but the feeling that we shouldn't<br>
|
|||
|
|
bother to build backends that the user doesn't even have. And as much<br>
|
|||
|
|
as we think it true, disk space isn't infinite. <br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Oliver> If that is too much, feel free to remove the backend-libraries<br>
|
|||
|
|
Oliver> you don`t need<br>
|

|
|
<p>
|
|||

That's what I currently do now, but I was wondering if others felt the<br>
|
|||
|
|
same way and if I should bother to make a patch for this behavior.<br>
