So, I have an old P166, no MMX, no built-in USB, 96MB RAM, running

I also have a Logitech USB WebCam. I'd like to use the cam.

The second step was to find a load appropriate drivers. Not so easy.

Yes, the libc mess would cause a headache. Personally, though, I
would like to see something similar. But basically, the intermediate

fix important bugs, an
