Since I hadn't got my old scanner set up I had never run Gimp under this install. So *that's* why I couldn't 'locate' it! > Also with your scanner doesn't it work with xsane or kooka?

I'm still exploring the options. xsane appears to run with Gimp, and I can scan and save with that (once I remembered that someone said right-click for everything in Gimp). Kooka looks interesting, with lots of options like scan to OCR. I could get the preview but then couldn't find how to get the scan proper. It also seems to point at a hidden directory for image file saves. This isn't exactly intuitive. I'm pleased with progress so far, but feel that I'm missing important bits. Anne
