I want to thank you for putting the current kernel sources into a
dyne module, It makes the building of other sources very easy. I got
spca5XX going for my Creative NXPro web cam.

People should download this module for adding software they are
missing, and follow the very simple SDK instructions on creating and
mounting a module directory, download the tar sources for the
missing app, do a "configure --prefix /opt/module_name", get and
install any missing libraries possibly into the same module_name
directory, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to where they are, run make and
make install, just to see how easy it is.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist, more like a cook who can
follow a recipe, and doesn't mind a few failures on the way to their
masterpiece.

I load every module I like into my SDK tree and create the iso,
which is far to big to fit onto a CD, but by using k3b will burn as
a DVD iso, which boots just like the CD (as long as you've got a DVD
drive.) Yeah hah,

I think a wish list wiki for modules could be a good idea, as those
too busy to cook their own modules can let others have a go,
although their efforts may not satisfy the wisher. Mayhap an
(included?) detailed howto for each made module could help the
wisher and others learn how to as well.

I think Jaromil et al have given us a real easy platform where we
can all learn to do it ourselves, and we should, even if we've been
indoctrinated by MS/MAC and their pre-built solutions. Dyne is
revolutionary software after all.
