Glad it worked, although running things unnecessarily as root isn't very ideal. The howtos aren't that impossible if you read through them, this is it in a nutshell:
Code:
su
dselect update
apt-get install gphoto2
gphoto2 --print-usb-usermap >> /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap
mkdir /etc/hotplug/usb
cp /usr/share/doc/gphoto2/linux-hotplug/usbcam.group /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam
mcedit /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam (change GROUP=camera to GROUP=usb), save and quit
chmod 755 /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam
