I?ve done some research in how to install a webcam in Linux with relative success. I?ve found some instructions that require to recompile the kernel and to add a new module to identify the camera, but I don?t have prior experience doing this. Any advice or tips installing a webcam?

1 Back up you system to make sure you can restore it if somthing goes wrong.

2 follow the instutions.

If it crashes restore from back up.

Keep it Simple.
