I did a quick look and xawtv seems to be in portage while camE is not. So I think I will go with xawtv for the time being. I will also I want to use gnomemeeting, but that looks like I need to add a very large section to devfs.conf. Right now I only want something simple to test the cam out. Right now I still have the scanner to get working, but that looks like it me just be a simple edit of the sane config file, then the cdrw that is the one that will take more knowledge to get fixed than I have now. After that there is about two other things to be done before I am happy and will call this install stable and a success. Yesterday I got the kernel to compile and finally got the printer to print and the floppy drive to read disks even though it is reading in 8.3 format (I think that is because I compiled in dos and windows partition support). Thanks for your recommendations and most of all thanks for all your help in the past.
