Moonman! I remember you from some of my other threads.

Is it absolutely necessary? How difficult is it to update the kernel? Is there a chance it will work without updating? I haven't purchased it yet.

Not absolutely necessary, but you have a better chance that it will work with a newer kernel. Since you dont have the device yet, when you go through the installation process you will get the latest uboot installed and upgrading the kernel will be as easy as installing linux-kirkwood package which is at version 3.8.10

I got the C310, what are some programs I can test it with? I tried cheese but there was an error with libgnome-desktop or something saying it didn't exist.

EDIT: Got it working with Guvcview, my goal is to make it accessible remotely and have a constant stream. Any programs that can do that?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('grayman4hire', 'T')ake a look at my signature. I have a quick start on setting up motion (not completed).

I get an error, I tried chmod a+rwx on it but it doesn't stick on reboot.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[0] Processing thread 0 - config file /etc/motion/motion.conf
[0] Unknown config option "sql_log_image"

[0] Motion 3.2.12 Started
[0] Motion going to daemon mode
[0] Exit motion, cannot create process id file (pid file) /var/run/motion/motion.pid: Permission denied
')

Also with chmod it crashes when any motion occurs because it can't save the file

My instructions has the following command to create the folder:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mkdir -p /var/run/motion
')

Did you run it?

Probably the same issue with /usr/local/apache2
