+<p align="justify">Some users have encountered problems
+installing or using MandrakeMove due to specific configuration
+situations that we did not have an opportunity to fully test.
+Please use the patches or recommendations included below for each
+scenario if it applies to you.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><b>Note on using Patches:</b> To use any of
+the <i>patch.pl</i> patches that are noted below, you must copy the
+appropriate patch onto a floppy disk, with the name patch.pl.
+Then you can boot off of your CD-ROM with the "linux patch"
+command at the boot prompt (obtained by pressing F1 at the splash
+screen), and making sure that the floppy containing the patch is
+in the floppy disk drive.</p>

+
+<i>Error scenario:</i> <b>no program seem to see my webcam, whereas on
+regular Mandrake 9.2 it works perfectly (may apply to other USB
+devices as well).</b>
+
+<br><i>Why:</i> "hotplug" automatic loading of drivers is disabled due to a
+bug on our side.
+
+<br><i>Solution:</i> add the following to the last line of
+/etc/rc.d/rc.local :
+<pre>
+sysctl -w kernel.hotplug=/sbin/hotplug
+</pre>
+and be sure to plug your webcam after boot and KDE startup is
+finished, not before booting.
+
+<br><i>Solution for download version:</i> run the following
+command in a console at the end of KDE startup, and then plug in
+your webcam:
+<pre>
+sysctl -w kernel.hotplug=/sbin/hotplug
+</pre>
+
+</p>
