Yeah, its dead. I run it on debian sarge with my own compile of everything that isn't in the normal repos. (like ffmpeg and all of that) One thing that I ended up doing was building my own 2.6.14 kernel package for the HD-3000 drivers rather than trying to build them into the old kernel. (which is also possible) http://www.penlug.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DigitalTelevision If all your worried about is things like ivytv then I probably wouldn't bother with going that far. Also all of my frontends run sarge where I built everything by hand too -Mike _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
