hi Nathan, i like the idea of a mobileMyth. there may be other plugins out there that provide some of this functionality. one of my future projects is to put together a carputer and i thought Myth would be a great frontend. add a MythGPS plugin and maybe a MythOBDII plugin. :) instead of LFS you may want to look into borrowing from KnoppMyth since it's already a paired down distro that is set up for Myth use. unless you have LFS experience or are itching to try... _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
