It appears that you are using Knoppmyth. Now I have used Jarod's guide several times, most recently with FedoraCore 3 but I found it useful even when installing myth on slackware. Some things didn't apply to slackware but I didn't feel the need to criticize Jarod simply because I chose a different distro than he. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
