Thank you... that really was helpful. :) I use Debian, so the rpms are out, but I really don't mind just "redoing" it each time. It's not really that big of a deal for me. I usually try to upgrade once a month, or if a major change is made in CVS. I like to get fixes, particularly since mythtv development seems to move fairly quickly as far a feature sets/fixes/improvements are concerned.
Thanks!
