I'm a Linux Newbie too and have/had this same problem. What I did was to use the RedHat 'up2date' tool do the updates. It completed without errors, so I continued on with the next step after the APT-GET UPDATE step... I'm assuming they basically do the same thing, but I'm probably wrong. Did I royally screw up by doing the up2date? If so, I'll start over again, but how do I get beyond the YAM dependency failure? (Keep in mind that I don't know how to 'remove' a package from the update, so you'll have to tell walk me through it.)
The reason I ask is that I'm re-installing FC2 on my backend system that I got working Sunday, but I had mistakenly used GNOME (which led to some discrepencys from Jarod's guide). More importantly, I was having issues with getting the 350's output to work properly -- I could get test video to go there, but liveTV went nowhere (just a blank screen), and to add insult to injury, I couldn't get out of 'livetv' once I selected it. So I chose to start over from scratch. Also, you may notice that I only have 256MB on this box -- is that enough for a basic backend? Or should I increase to 512MB? I setup my swap drive to be 512MB -- is that ok too even though I only have 256MB physical ram currently? (I wanted to plan ahead...) My current Backend+Frontend system specs (built from 'scraps' except for the PVR-350...) Pentium III 866MHz Nvidea Riva TNT2 (VGA out only) 256MB RamBus 800 Ram PVR-350 (using for input only currently) 18GB U160 SCSI 10Krpm (os & swap) 20GB ATA100 IDE 7200rpm (temporary /video drive) Jeff > At 8:12 AM -0800 12/28/04, Frostykev wrote: > >Hello all, I'm starting to build my first MythTV > >system.
