I think for the next round, we may be going with a more automated, up-to-date and mythtv-bits-included installer. > The other suggestion would be to bring along, either as a server, or as an > additional DVD, a fairly recent mirror of the updates to FC6 so that you > won't have to wait for 4 (or 40) systems to fetch all the updates over the > host's internet connection. This last bit actually was in the plans for last round, but the person bringing said mirror (me) had to phone in with a sick (and contagious) family. Should be mostly unneeded if we go with the installer mentioned above though, as it'll already include (at least most of) the updates. -- Jarod Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ gnhlug-org mailing list gnhlug-org@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org/
