Unfortunately, when I run: yum install --enablerepo=drpixel kmod-gspca I get this error message: Transaction Check Error: package kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 is already installed file /boot/System.map-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 from install of kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 file /boot/config-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 from install of kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 file /boot/symvers-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.gz from install of kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 file /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 from install of kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 The camera still doesn't work (looking at the video set-up in both Kopete and Ekiga. No device found.) Do I uninstall the older files which are causing the conflicts and then run 'yum install' again? I don't want to risk doing anything like that without knowing it's the correct thing to do! It is a bit peculiar, as the new files are the same number as the older ones. Many thanks for your help, and sorry to trouble you again. Cheers Keith
