This is from a really old iscan release, iscan-1.5.0 to be precise. If Dan really wants to use iscan, I suggest he downloads iscan-1.10.0 via http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/index.html # I don't see the point in running FC2 with a two year old version of # iscan, but that's just me. > If the backend is really from 12/02, you will not be able to use it > with a libusb system (which is what every 2.6.x system uses). iscan-1.10.0 should work with libusb.
