Setting up the Slide Scanner

Always manage to struggle with this one, but you need to:

• Connect scanner and power on before powering on PC
• Install Hamrick Vuescan (free update period has ended, so stick with version 8.4.60) including the provided drivers
• Unpack SCSI drivers (aic78xx_aic78u2_vista_x86_v605456.exe)
• Through Device Manager, locate the SCSI card, and install the unpacked drivers
• Register Vuescan, using the details in .\Assorted Stuff\Vuescan Account Details.pdf

And it should all work well, although the SCSI card appears to conflict with the sound card for some reason...

Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org; Name or service not known...

In VirtualBox. Turns out it is easy to fix...

[root@localhost ~]# vi /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
[root@localhost ~]#

However, this file is auto generated by network-manager, so you need to add the following to the appropriate /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* file:

PEERDNS="no"
DNS1="8.8.8.8"
DNS2="8.8.4.4"

And restart the network manager:

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl restart network

Should all work perfectly...
