Hi there, I am a newbie and am having a bit of trouble installing .rpm packages. The system says Alien is installed but I can't find it and do not know how to execute it. I need to install "iscan-2.28.1-3.i386.rpm" to get my scanner to work as the OS does not read the scanner. It's an Epson Perfection V33. Can you possibly advise please?
