[sane-devel] Installingproblem with parallellportscanner and Sane.

[Philip Moller]

Hi,

Ok fine, but I have some problem locating my modules.conf file.
I can't find the darned thing in /etc .
I use Fedora 3, and this system is new for me, so I am having problems 
locating files in Fedoras filesystem.

I get this in commandmode:

[root] # updatedb
[root] # locate modules.conf
/etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/ssl-modules.conf
/etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/default-modules.conf
/etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/default-modules.conf.with-menu-editing

But I don't think it's the right files.
So I first have to solve what the modules.conf file is named in fedora 
3, so I can find the file.

Do you perhaps now what the modules.conf file is named in Fedora 3 ?

Or else, I will be back shortly, when I now more, I am now going to solv 
the problem, after I got some sleep.  Goodnight ! See you tomorrow !


Sincerely,
Philip Moller
