At some point, you just have to ask yourself, "why is everything so hard for me, but easier for everyone else?" I see lots of people who have success with KnoppMyth (myself included) and lots who are successful with Jarod's guide. Why fight with half-baked, incompatible hardware? Hardware is so darned cheap these days, just get something that WORKS and use either path. Don't make everything so difficult by using hardware that isn't supported. Get something that works and move on with life.
But seriously, I understand your point. If my ONLY goal is to get a working Myth box as fast as possible, then just go with what's easiest. But I have an additional goal -- To learn HOW stuff works. I want to learn HOW because (a) it will increase my skill set and make me a more desirable employee, and (b) in the spirit of open source software, I'd like to be able to give back to the community that has given to me. I don't want to be a "taker" only.
Cheers,
Drew
