First off, I agree with the original poster. Requiring graphics to set up myth is an unnecessary complication. I would recommend starting an X server on the machine you're using to connect to the backend host. If it's a windows machine, use cygwin's X server. Then shell in using the xterm with something like ssh using x11 forwarding (ssh -X). Then just start mythtv-setup. Or use a vnc connection. This is much faster (as in responsive) but slightly less transparent. You basically shell in to the backend host, run vncserver :<n> and then start a vnc client on the local machine with graphics. Specify the correct backend host name and port 590x where x is the number you specified in <n> to vncserver. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
