Subject: what goes where?

Hi,

I already spent hours and hours reading the scattered docs but I still 
can't figure out what packages I need and where I put them and how I 
compile them. (I'm not new to Linux, I expect certain conventions, they 
seem to be absent in this project and that's confusing me.)

I downloaded the sane-backends-1.0.4 sources. Do I need 
plustek-module-0_37_23.tar.gz or plustek-sane-0_37_23.tar.gz ? This is 
nor clear from what I've read.

And where do I put that package? In sane-backends-1.0.4 or 
sane-backends-1.0.4/backend?

Does it build with sane automatically or do i have to type configure and 
make separetely?

I'd rather use the Debian packages of sane from my CD set. That's 
version 1.0.1. There doesn't seem to be a way to compile the plustek 
driver for the pre-installed package, or is there? If yes, where do I 
put what and what do I type where?

I could also try to install the latest Debian packages of sane (1.0.4). 
How would that be?

Robert
