The output will look like this:
-=- Logitech QuickCam USB camera driver installer -=-
Hello! I am the (hopefully) easy-to-use, fully automated
qc-usb driver installation script.
At the moment, this is experimental, and if it doesn't work,
don't hesitate to quit this with Ctrl+C and install the
driver manually.
The driver is provided in source code form, so it has to be
compiled. This should happen automatically, but it does mean
that there are some steps required before installation.
You also need to know "root" user password to test and
install the driver.
Basically you need only to keep hitting Enter whenever you
see this prompt: --->. Sometimes you're asked root password.
Pay special attention to lines beginning with [!].
It means that some trouble has been detected.
To most important location is the path to your kernel source
or headers. This can be guessed, but you can specify it by
giving it as an argument to this script like this:
./quickcam.sh LINUX_DIR=/usr/src/linux
If you haven't done it yet, now it would be a good moment to
take a look at file README.
Next I'm going to check if you have some important programs installed
and if they and the kernel are of suitable version.

Now everything should be well and the driver compiled.
Let's then try actually loading the fresh driver and testing
if it works.
Press Ctrl+C to quit, Enter to continue --->
To load the driver, I need to know the root password.
Password:
=== Entering root mode ===
I will now try to enable the SysRq key.
If your computer crashes, you can try pressing:
Alt + SysRq + S: Emergency Sync (write everything on hard disk)
Alt + SysRq + U: Unmount all harddisks
Alt + SysRq + B: Reboot system immediately
Press Ctrl+C to quit, Enter to continue --->
Now I finally will try to load the module.
If you're unlucky, your computer might crash right now!!!!
Consider long if you really want to continue.

Let's test if user applications can see it, starting with qcset.
Press Ctrl+C to quit, Enter to continue --->
Name : Logitech QuickCam USB
If you like, you can quit now and start using the camera -
you have good chances that it works, if no problems were detected.
If you have X Window System running and xawtv installed,
I can now run it automatically for you.
You will then also have opportunity to install the driver permanently.
