This post is an announcement of intent designed to open a MythTV thread on which I will ask for LOTS of help.
First I want to thank Gus who made a case and the KnoppMyth DVD available to me. Then I want to thank my wife for recognizing this as a valuable project and encouraging me to devote valuable time to it. Then I want to thank the MythTV developers, Linus Torvalds, my mother, my father, my hairdresser ... OK, here is where we are. 1.6666 mHz AMD CPU 500 MB RAM ~ 300 GB IDE disk space IDE CD/DVD R/W Gyration keyboard/mouse (http://perens.com/FreeSoftware/gyration.html) NVidia TV output (actual card to be posted later when I struggle with it) Hauppage 150 D-Link wireless The core machine is assembled and KnoppMyth is installed and working. The issues as I see them in the order of attack: - get the wireless working - get the Gyration working - cable it up and see what I have - start transferring family video tapes to DVD etc Because the KnoppMyth distro is Debian based (yeah, jhriv, ya finally got me), I'll need help as I venture away from the familiar shores of Red Hat. Today's question: I have connectivity through Cat 5, so getting the D-Link working is job 1. Last night it was complaining that it doesn't have/can't find the wlan0 module. I am so frackin' ignorant of modules and wireless that I might as well have a red-tipped cane. I plan to poke around in /etc looking for modprobe.conf and sysconfig/. Is there some apt-get juju that would install all this automagically? (Here is the real irony: When I get all done with this, TV will still be TV.) -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
