So, if I were to document this:<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
automatic scanner detection is dependant upon kernel and backend<br>
|
|
support of /proc/scsi/scsi. (The light just went on in my head,<br>
|
|
and I'm guessing /proc/scsi/scsi is mostly a linux kernal 2.x thing?)<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
What is the best way to determine which backends support this feature.<br>
|
|
I realize that the "neccessity" for the /dev/scanner link was optional in the<br>
|
|
past, but it made installation a bit more consistant. Thanks for the<br>
|
|
input.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Does OS/2 support the /proc stuff? I haven't messed with OS/2 in Warp3.<br>
|
