Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't i.e also "iscan" free non-OSS that should be located on that iso part(s)?
Yes, iscan is on the non-OSS part for some time. Isn't it?
I think I've found the explanation that clarify this possible confusion. There exist now two versions:
* iscan- (propriarity binary only) * iscan-free (OSS)
Correct.
iscan-1.18.0.1-14.i586.rpm which I've used on Suse 10.1 and before, has been available among others on the DVD iso and for download at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/10.1/inst-source-extra/suse/i586 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/10.1/SUSE-Linux10.1-GM-Extra/suse/i586
The iscan GUI front-end has not had a menu entry among the scanner programs after installation, AFAI've seen. I don't know if "iscan"
The GUI should have a menu entry. I suggest to file a bugreport.
propriarty still will be supplied as a extra non-OSS application for scanner models that iscan-free doesn't support.
The non-OSS iscan version will continue to be shipped.
iscan-free-2.2.0.1-3.i586.rpm available on the SL-OSS-factory, doesn't contain any frontend, just the free epkowa driver for SANE (backend) and lacks support for some Epson scanners. However it can be run from standard frontends like Xsane.
I have now removed iscan, installed and tested iscan-free on Suse 10.1. iscan-free looks to work well using Xsane for my scanner model, Epson Perfection 1640SU with ADF. This ADF has not worked with Sane alone previously, therefore I have used iscan, which now obviously can be replaced with iscan-free for my scanner model.
