Okay...I've got a Microtek U2S EyeStar (USB), I've got my linux server (rel. 2.2.16) with a USB port, and I've got the w3cam cgi app from http://www.hdk-berlin.de/~rasca/w3cam/. Would one of you experts please help me get started by clueing me in on anything I should be aware of? Or am I ready to go. Sorry to be such a stoop... Randy
