Now you made clear that these binary blobs consist of data (and not of a cpu program), I do not see either.

In fact, I have no serious reason to run amd64 since I use my amd64 computer as a ``user workstation'' and the main benefit from running amd64 is to manage huge amounts of RAM --- as far as I can tell from the various docs I have read. My reasons to run amd64 are mainly geeky or childish :) > As I said before the handbook is excellent but here is my quick and > dirty step by step how to for scanners. [SNIP] Thanks a lot for this con tribution, --=20 Cheers, Micha=EBl
