Let me start by saying that I can follow instructions if I can find them.  I 
can't say how many howtos I have read, but I am still at wits end on setting 
up a scanner.  

I have a HP Scanjet 5P.
It is attached to Compaq Deskpro (Pentium 200) via
Adaptec AD2940U SCSI card.  The card was configured by 7.1 as scsi0. 

SANE was installed when I installed 7.1.

1. I expect I need to define a mount point for the scanner.
2.  I expcct I need to link the mount point and scsi0.
3.  I need to tell something (SANE or what?) that I want to use the backend 
for an HP 5P scanner.
4.  I need to tell some frontend (scanimage or xscanimage) to use the HP 
scanner.

I know I am asking a lot, but what I need is simple a b c set of instructions 
such as Mandrake furnished for installing 7.1

Thanks advance for the help.
