Are you saying that you put binary 2 disk in your cdrom; executed dselect from a
command prompt; went through the steps Access, Update and Select; and xawtv wasn't
found listed under "xtr x11"?
It should be there, at least thats where it is on my slink cheapbytes CD.
By the way, I did notice a note that says it's only for development kernels 2.1.xx.
Are you sure it will work with your kernel?
