I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but I just can't find
the answer.
Is there a way to setup a backend slave server without having X
installed?
Yes. If you built mythtv with DirectFB support, you can just run the
setup program. Otherwise, the easiest way is probably to ssh in from
another X display, making sure to enable X11 forwarding. Otherwise,
you can install a VNC server, connect with a VNC client, and run the
setup program that way.
Both of which require having X (the X client libraries at minimum)
installed on the backend... Think of it this way, though: X is just a
"few" megabytes extra software on a system that routinely
creates/processes multi-gigabyte files, so it shouldn't be that big a deal.
