finding USB camera using kdf and lsmod, etc

[Stephen W]

There is sure a lot I need to learn...

went su and tried using lsmod, etc... 

was told command not found.

did search and found them in/sbin

cd /sbin and tried to run ...

same result "command not found"

egad, I sure do not want to return to Win... but this
is getting crazy.. Slowly, very slooooooowly,
learning. Never in all my years of education (and
those are considerable) has the learning curve been so
steep... ofcoourse, in the formal academic centers
there were fellow students, profs, and all sorts of
resources that I do not have sitting at home by
myself...

I'll just keep looking and asking question via the net
rather than going to the person next door... :)

Thanks,
StephenW
