I am running the $subject. However, I am unable to get the biometric system to work for me. For the experienced Linux-ists, how do I do this? What utility do I use to register the fingerprints?
Ironically, this page - http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_10.10_%28Maverick%29_on_a_ThinkPad_T61 tells me something (at the bottom) but ends where it leaves me asking "then what?"
