Thanks for the reply Dave. If I have to go down the compile route then your instructions look invaluable. It's just sad that the atrpms rpm package for 2.6.10 worked so well for me, but the 2.6.11 one doesn't. Never mind, I've always meant to learn how to compile a kernel! _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
