I installed coriander-0.22 because I would have to install libdc from cvs in order for it to work with coriander-0.23 or coriander-0.24. I will do that later. You would still have to modprobe ohci1394 and raw1394 first before running any application programs. The following link will list a nice long list of applications that work with ieee1394. Tell me your success as I am trying to get it to capture a decent picture currently. http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/links.html#software -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Altoine B Maximum Time Unlimited Chicago Based and Operated ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Win98 errors 019-999: Reserved for future use; presently used only to occupy 49.3 MB diskspace. --------------------------- 2.4.18-6mdk ------------------------------------------------------------------------
