Barely. ~520KB bzImage. Almost everything =M.

Depends on your USB Host Controller in your PC. All recent boards with
Intel PCI controllers, and VIA PCI controllers, can use uhci or usb-uhci. 
SiS, ALi chipsets are ohci. Note that not all USB cameras use Mass Storage.
For those that aren't, you need gphoto2 and only these modules:

usbcore
usb-uhci or uhci or ohci

Then you need to set up a hotplugging driver. Details on that are available
with gphoto2 documentation.
