cd-rom

I have recently installed FreeBSD 15 on my desktop. I am using XFCE. The system is working well on the whole, while some things aren't well polished. I have a CanonScan LiDE 120 scanner attached which I want to use through my non root account. I have installed sane-backends and simple-scan. I...
