This looks fairly good: http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_03_03.html#sect_03_03_05 You might want to read the entire document. But to summarise, ln -s /proc/bus/usb/00n/00m /dev/scanner where you get n and m from lsusb. One other point, to help us: This is a busy mailing list, and we can't remember all the conversations that go on at once. It's helpful if you (and your mail program) can keep threading working: if you reply to a message, then most mail programs will put the appropriate "magic" in the e-mail headers. Many e-mail programs will then display the e-mails together, so we can go back and look at what else has been said. But it's also helpful if you quote a little bit of context right in the e-mail, like I've done above. That way, when you refer to a point that's been made earlier, we can see exactly what that point was. In this case, I remember e-mailing you before, so I knew what your problem was. I doubt if anyone else did, making your message rather ambiguous. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | "In these troubled times, it's always refreshing to @westexe.demon.co.uk | see a major company concentrating on vital issues. | It would be even more refreshing if Compaq tried it | for once." -- The Inquirer
