Hi, I had a few questions about Linux on the Wii.  I tried looking at
the wiki's but some of these questions don't seem to be (clearly)
addressed.

I'm planning on putting a USB webcam on a Wii ("Family edition"; no
Gamecube support).

>From what I understand, the newer Wii's can't install the boot2
replacement BootMii, so it has to be run out of IOS.  Does this affect
how the Wii Linux kernel can use devices, particularly USB connected
ones?

Are there any other limitations that the "Family edition" would impose
on Wii Linux?


Thanks!
