Mark, it just occurred to me this is probably more of a question should be asked within your distro's support forum (ie. IRC, Web Board Forums, etc). I don't use RedHat/Fedora and I think Mike uses Debian. Also note, pvrusb2 is now included within the kernel now. (Older versions were released as patches -- six months to a year now since pvrusb2 was included w/i the kernel?) I don't know if anybody is going to have any better advice here on this one. ... besides correcting my data, lol. -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html
