Hey Anne! I'm alive again and living amongst those running FC6. Now,
back to the webcam issue. I got mine working!!!!! 

First, I went through ten kinds of hell with the kernel. I kept getting
the i586 one and I finally just dnloaded from core the kernel, kernel
devel and kernel header packages and rpm -e the old ones, while holding
my breath, and re-installed the good ones. It's not safe to do this, yum
went ballistic the moment there was no kernel, but thankfully it
continued. 

Then I got my webcam tar and untarred it. Tried to make it, got the same
ole same old complaint. So, I just touch config.h
in /usr/src/kernels/2.XXXX/include/linux

went back and made the blooming arse run! It compiled without a burp and
loaded a working module. I know have my smiling countenance grinning
back at myself. What a fine day. Life is good, the Universe spins at
200,000 miles an hour, in greased grooves. Ric
