The link you included is a pretty good howto for getting Myth running on Slackware. If you used that then Myth is probably installed correctly, you just needs to get your hardware working right.

If you describe the problems you are having, I might be able to walk you through it.

Hey Matt,

I greatly appreciate the ready to go package library for Slackware.  I decided 
to go with Slackware too when I first got into Linux.  It's been a tough uphill 
learning curve, but sadistically, I have fun doing it.  I have hit road blocks 
in set up while attempting to use instructions I found for setting up a Myth 
system on Slack 9.1.  Since you are also using Slack and a newer version at 
that..do you have anything written up for step by step instructions on how to 
get everything working?  I feel like there is just a small item missing from 
the existing instructions, but with my limited knowledge, don't know how to 
pinpoint it.  These are the instructions I used.  When you installed 10.1, did 
you keep the kernel at 2.4.29, or did you upgrade the kernel?

List,

I maintain my own slackware packages to make updating software and rebuilding servers easier.

I have just recently started building slackware 10.1 packages and also built the latest release of myth.

I figured I would post a link so that anyone on the list that also wants to use the packages can:

For people new to slackware and linux, slackware is a very simple distribution that uses minimal amounts of patching, kernel.org kernels, and leaves out complex things that are not required for myth (and many other applications) such as pam.

Installing slackware 10.1, qt, blackbox, and the packages at the site above will quickly yield a functional myth box with minimal complexity.

Enjoy,
schu
