It works for me, but, as I said, you don't have to use it.

Since you are using the VIEWER settings, you can just comment out 
the GLOBAL_MAILCAP=/etc/mailcap line in lynx.cfg and delete the 
mailcap file.

I guess there is no Linux driver for the card.

I don't really know. All the reading I did suggested that SCSI 
scanners usually worked better in Linux with a standard SCSI card 
than with a card supplied with the scanner. My scanner (used) did 
not come with a card, but with a USB cable and a MAC (I think) 
SCSI cable, so I had to buy an external cable (not cheap). Once I 
connected it to the 2940 card in my PC, it worked fine with the
SANE software.

I ask about this just in case i need to compile something to
be able to configure my keyboard. Maybe later i add a bigger
HD, at this time the 200MB are enough for me.

Gracias, es agradable ver algo en espa=f1ol. Tampoco se muho
de Linux, apenas empiezo, pero segun he visto no siempre hay
una forma correcta. Aun no he tenido tiempo de probar con
las soluciones que han publicado otros, pero si a ti te
funciona bien esta forma no veo por que no ma funcione
tambi=e9n. De todas formas te aviso los resultados de mis
pruebas con las distintas posibles soluciones.

I'm sorry to those who don't speak spanish, but i think the
most correct way to reply the David message is in spanish.
Anyway my english is very bad. :)

After I used my young friend's FreeBSD server to download and look
at the 6M xpdf (which is probably what James also found) he got interested
and found pdftohtml (and pdftops and a few other things) and installed it.
The instructions say it will display html and png images, or you can run
it with switch -i and ignore images (much faster).  525K for FreeBSD 4.
Lynx.cfg still needs to be edited to view pdf files with pdftohtml.  I
will let people know how it works when it works.


He is looking into upgrading his library so he can install the binary for
Lynx 2.1.9.  If he figures out how I will let you know.  He is 14 and gets
bored easily. A non-profit let him hook into their DSL line because he is
maintaining (and replacing) their hardware.  He already installed, at my
suggestion, Lynx (two versions in 24 hours), Links 0.98 and 2.0, and
antiword.  This is a text-only system.
