I had to do all of this on the Mandrake box before it would work. I never got 
it going through gphoto though, but I did find a little program called pencam 
that does the trick.

Have you played with the continuous shooting thing yet? If you name all of 
the files *_0001.ppm through *_0080.ppm (a bit of Perl sorts that for me) the 
Gimp will do the right thing very quickly and you can create little animated 
gifs (little in pixels, large in diskspace required - 1.5Mb). I'm not about 
to inflict them on the web, but they're fine for local viewing. I'll 
investigate making mpegs when I get a round tuit.

I reckon the bit that tells me to make square pegs fit into round holes is 
defective :-)
