Just pick everything for them and install. - -The following worked for me on 12/11/2003, it's easy. If they change the script install.sh, don't get mad at me!

It doesn't work. [better: goto Thacs Rpm's. http://rpm.nyvalls.se/ and select your version (your all using 9.1 and drooling for 9.2..right?). Then just follow the directions to add his repository to your urpmi configuration. Like this: 'urpmi.addmedia thacs.rpms http://rpm.nyvalls.se/9.1/RPMS with hdlist.cz' for 9.1. Now just call 'urpmi xmltv' from a root prompt and relax while it installs.] - -3 - Download Freevo binaries. - -4 - Try installing apt: Configure urpmi vi Penguin Liberation Front instructions. Execute urpmi apt; then execute apt-get install xmltv - No such package. Get alternate rpm for apt for RH8.0, suck out the sources file for RH8 using mc, copy into M9.1 /etc/apt. Execute apt-get install xmltv; tons of missing dependency files, mostly perl related. - -5 - Download XMLTV rpms. rpm -ivh fails with a lot of missing perl library errors. rpm -ivh --nodeps fixes that. - -6 - Create shell script for xmltv as documented in Freevo docs. Run it successfully. Copy script to /etc/cron.weekly - -7 - cd to /usr/local/freevo, execute ./freevo - -8 - No tv listings.
