webcam (vidcat for /dev/video1)

HI,
I've installed a webcam following these instructions on the
nslu2-linux site and it works great.

Now I'd love to add a second one, but I understand you need to
recomiple  vidcat to point to a different device (ie /dev/video1
instead of /dev/video0).

Is there a good soul with a precompiled version to post/mail ?

Thanks
Sinager

I've never used vidcat, but according to "man vidcat" at
http://linux.com.hk/penguin/man/1/vidcat.html you can specify an
alternative device using the -d option.

That's right, thank you.
