I want to install a module for my webcam, the docs tells me to unpack
the archive and issue the make command.

Instructions :

   1) download the file
http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/files/pwc-10.0.6.tar.bz2
      (or the last available file on the site)
   2) unpack the file using the command command:
        # tar xjf pwc-10.0.6.tar.bz2
   3) compile the module (this needs the source of your actual kernel to
      be installed)
        # cd pwc-10.0.6
# make
   4) login as root
        # su

Result:

Mike@P-733:~/DownLoads/WebCam> ls

I see a permission denied error (fourth line above) so I su'ed to root
and reran the make command

------------------

I haven't actually tried to compile much in the way of modules or
programs, but I figure it's a skill I want to master as not all software
comes pre-compiled and in a nice RPM file for easy installation.
