I recently downloaded a long database of webcam models and compatibility, but I can'tremember where I found it. It would either have been from a link on the TWiki page, http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/MandrakeReferences or a google on something like "linux compatibility webcams". I think the PenCam was not supported (I noticed because my granddaughter has one), but some very cheap webcams are. Meanwhile, try this link: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/devices.php Anne
