Re: Installing genesys on Debian - lateral thinking time?

[Lisi <lisi.reisz@gmail.com>]

Is there some scanner software other than SANE I can try?  What do people 
think of Vuescan?

The really sad thing about all this is that it works in Ubuntu 11.10 Unity on 
a live CD.  The CD was sloooooowwwwwwwww, but once it had loaded, I could 
scan with my LiDE 110.  The most recent Knoppix, by contrast, also from the 
end of last year, loaded quite fast - but Xsane couldn't see my scanner.

So I could perhaps load 11.10 as a dual boot on my netbook and do all my 
scanning from there.  But I would prefer a Debian solution.   Install Wheezy 
as a dual boot?

Suggestions welcomed - so long as they don't entail throwing the wretched LiDE 
110 in the nearest lake - not that I would be able to find one with any water 
in it.  (Sorry, this is an international list and that was a local reference.  
I live in the south of England and - incredibly - we have a drought.)

Thanks,
