My Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner has died and must be replaced.
The Epson 4990 is too rich for my budget and the Epson 4490 is not on

After trying various suggestions I found I was unable to mount the
memory stick at all.
I went back to the begining and executed:
zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sda
which puts a FAT file system on the memory stick.
Next I unplugged and replugged it and it was still recognized as sg1.

Continuing to try to get the Wacom mouse to work, ran xorgcfg. The

In the xorg update there was an advice to save the files in /usr/X11R6
so the bin directory could be replaced with a softlink to /usr/bin.
Once this had been done the programs that were in usr/X11R6/bin could be
moved to /usr/bin and the other files & directories could be moved back
to /usr/X11R6.

Question: Is there an MP3 player that plays Ogg files right out of the box?
I'm considering converting to Ogg the audio tapes I play on a clunky
cassette player during workouts. A review of an iRiver T30 noted that
initially it worked only with XP but a download from the manufacturer

hmm.
If, when fetchmail finishes downloading a batch of mail, I immediately
run mutt it displays only a few messages - and these may actually be

Background: I have been using gdm

startup was trapped in a loop before login and top -i showed root
running a program gdmgreeter with a continuously changing pid.
Purging Gnome and Xorg and rebooting did not solve the problem.
