I'm sure we would all agree that KnoppMyth meets a segment of the MythTV population needs but take my situation for example:
Why may such a statement? It seems as if you stating that KnoppMyth is deficient in some way when compared to MythTV installed on another distro. The point of KnoppMyth is to get a PVR up and running in the easiest/quickest/best (IMHO) manner possible. KnoppMyth will do a major install, it will wipe hda clean, install Linux, all of MythTV's deps, MythTV and all modules (less MythBrowser and MythPhone), Samba, NFS, motion, mplayer and then some... Seems pretty major to me (speaking as a proud (if not somewhat defensive) parent).if you just want to get your feet wet in myth before doing a major install.
I have a working CVS backend and I'm building a new frontend. I want to use the CD boot frontend KnoppMyth and not have a HD in my frontend. I can't do it AFAIK because the KnoppMyth CD doesn't support my CVS backend because the protocols have changed.
I would certainly recommend KnoppMyth for a first time installation but many find themselves moving onto rolling their own installation when needs like mine arise.
