Roadblock after Roadblock

Attempting to get a webcam viewing program on an NSLU is like a dog trying to catch its own tail: after going around and around in circles, it accomplishes nothing. Following tutorials on how to get the program up and running leads to errors that tell us that packages are missing; downloading those packages shows us that we are missing other files; trying to find those files are impossible. After going through three or four tutorials (and a vast number of downloads), we have stumbled upon a new roadblock: storage space. Our 1GB storage has finally capped with all the downloads we were using, and now we are forced to find an alternative storage module in which to work on. So progress will once again be halted until we buy more storage space.
