I said easy to install, not configure if you look at a previous email I tried to illustrate that installing freevo isn't the hard part, it is purely down to configuration. I think what this comes down to is coming up with an initial configurator which reduces local conf to the lowest common denominators. Basic TV card knowledge (tv card are pretty easy to detect btw, or at least are on redhat/fc kudzu does wonders, including alsa), enter info about your remote and the local of your data and you're off, if you look at the earlier message dealing with the configuration process I think it makes sense to do this on first run. Myth has a UI for configuration and this is largely one of the factors which puts myth in a better position than freevo (excluding the memory overhead). Having a builtin configuration system and a web enabled one and still allowing users to hack the file as much as they like. k, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
