Hi, and thanks for the response.

Sorry about not being clearer - I'm booting from the CD, not the DVD. So what you say may be on the right track. Is there a list of files or a .deb package I could download to bring my system 'up to scratch' so that the make works (if possible, that seems quicker and less bandwidth-intensive than grabbing the DVD ISO)?

And yes, if I get this figured out I'll happily make a tutorial on it and post it on the wiki. From my googling it looks like a lot of people are having trouble with webcams under linux.

Regards
