Xawtv is something you might need either way. At least I've found I
need both for various things. Xawtv comes with a variety of things not
just the webcam app. :)

/usr/portage/media-video/xawtv/files/webcamrc
/usr/share/man/man5/xawtvrc.5.gz
That is where you'll find a sample rc file for xawtv's webcam app and
xawtv.
camE's rc sample is found here(depending on if your using ssh or not
there is two):
/usr/share/doc/came-1.2/example.camErc.gz
/usr/share/doc/came-1.2/example.camErc.ssh.gz

At first tho my cdrw didn't work as an rw it did work as a cd easy
enough. I found tho simply editing my grub config changed that by
loading scsi emulation which I did turn on in the kernel(vanilla). I
downloaded cdrtools, simplecdrx, and cdrao and it works fine. Good luck
with getting yours going as well.

I'm not sure on the floppy part. Mine reads both windows and linux
disks because my system is duel boot.(win98se tho it had been 2kpro til
a mishap with itouch drivers).

"There is something very wonderful in music. Words are wonderful
enough; but music is even more wonderful. It speaks not to our thoughts
as words do; it speaks straight to our hearts and spirits, to the very
core and root of our souls. Music soothes us, stirs us up; it puts
noble feelings in us; it melts us to tears; we know not how; - it is a
language by itself, just as perfect, in its way, as speech, as words;
just as divine, just as blessed." - Charles Kingsley
