It really depends where you have all your shows, database files, etc stored on your drive. You'll most likely clobber your exisintg recordings. The default knoppix partition scheme is (as of R5A12) /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda3 /cache auto defaults,auto 0 2 /dev/hda4 /myth auto defaults,auto 0 2 /dev/hda2 none swap defaults 0 0 So if you have anything on hda, it's going to get clobbered if you do a default install. If you want to keep things, you'll need to do a mythbackup (unless that's a knoppix-specific tool), and move your /myth/tv directory to another drive. Install, then restore the database, and move your content back. That's the over-simplified version, of course :) Graham
