Botond,

Thank you for your help.

There is no ivtv-source package in the repositories. What I've been 
doing up until now and hoping will still apply using your directions is 
the ivtv source tar packages from the IVTV homepage. So, after untarring 
them and the linux source, I have in my /usr/src directory, among other 
things, is:
dave@example.com:/usr/src$ ls
ivtv-0.4.5
linux-source-2.6.15
> # tar jxvf linux-source-2.6.16.tar.bz2
> # tar jxvf ivtv-source.tar.bz2 
> # cd linux-source-2.6.16
> # make gconfig
>   
Hmmm... this kicked back an error:

dave@example.com:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15$ sudo make gconfig

I searched for GTK packages with Synaptic, and it seems I have a bunch 
of them installed. There were no packages for glib, and I definitely 
have libglade-2.0.

As for the second "No rule" error, I have no idea how to approach that one.

I was able to blow away almost everything in /lib/modules with 2.6.15 in 
it's name, except one seemingly empty directory:
rm: cannot remove directory `/lib/modules/2.6.15-25-686/volatile': 
Device or resource busy

Is that going to be a problem? Or is that good enough?

I clearly haven't got to this stage yet, but how do I make sure a 
bootloader is updated? Sorry for my cluelessness, but by bootloader, do 
you mean GRUB? Or something else?
