    Updated my script to read
    # You might try installing guvcview package
    # and run guvcviewto to set up the camera (colour, contrast, etc)


    Thank you for the update.

    I added zoom to my RPM database using the above links. The only thing
    to watch is that the name "zoom" is already there, for a program to
    download text-type games (e.g. "choose your own adventure.") rpmdrake
    listed this package last. Just look at the 'description' column to see
    which one you have chosen, and there will be no problem.

    Trying to upgrade Crossover Office rpms with names like zoom (no version number in the title) created problems before, but that seems to have
    been overcome.

    I use a custom script to do my upgrades. I donwnload the rpm. ask rpm to give the
    full rpm name, rename it to the full name and date, then ask rpm to install
    the full rpm name.
