(My Kernel in Kubuntu is 2.6.10-5.386)

1) with Synaptic, install:  linux-source-2.6.10
2) install: linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386
3) install: 'qc-usb-source'  et 'qc-usb-utils'
4) install: 'gcc', 'xawtv', 'v4l-conf', 'libpt-plugins-v4l'
5) In windows terminal, write:  sudo konqueror
6) in  /etc/src,  with  'ark'  , to extract the contents from 
'qc-usb-modules.tar.gz'
    in  /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-5.386
7) windows terminal, go in the file:
    cd /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-5.386/modules
   and write:  sudo ./quickcam.sh
8) if all this master key well, has the end have gives: modprobe quickcam

Edit file 'modules' who is in /etc and to write:
modprobe quickcam
(this for the initialization of the webcam to the start of the PC)
