I'm a slack guy, have been since about 1998.
yup, i have been since ... well, i'm not sure which version i started with ... either slackware 6 or 7 ...
I have gotten myth working on slackware (mythtv 0.16 and slack 9.1) and have tried getting mythtv 0.17 working with 10.1, 10, and 9.1 using 2.6.11, currently have it running on slack 9.1, 2.6.11.6.
hmm, i still haven't gotten 2.6.x to work ... really annoying me ... i get no input devices and no network (probably a lot of other things don't work, but i can't tell, since i can't ssh in or login at the console! :P)
But, and it hurts me to say this, I did install FC3 according to Jarod's guide and it did work and the performance was better.
wow, that really surprises me ... esp with both on a 2.6 kernel ...
Don't know why but I plan on finding out since I don't like rpm based systems and dependency checking, <rant> sorry you can't rpm -e sendmail because it is depended on by a bunch of other crap that we decided to install for you ... </rant>.
hehehe ... exactly!!
Anyway there is some guy maintaining a slackware mythtv package, haven't tried it, but here it is http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=6144
all the versions of myth i've installed (i think i started 2 or 3 releases ago) have been by hand and i definitely prefer it ... call it the over-anal-ness of a network admin :P
thx for the info! -g- _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
