New Revision: 8215
   Changeset: http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/8215

Modified:

   trunk/mythtv/docs/mythtv-HOWTO.sgml

Log:

Closes #711.

Doug pointed me in the right direction on this. Linux systems that 
do not allow us to keep a privledged thread, allow for regular users
to set the scheduler priority using either rlimits or the realtime
module. I've updated the HOWTO sgml to reflect this; rlimits is the
preferred way since that module made it into the Linux in 2.6.12,
but some distributions supported the other contender, the realtime
module. I've added a short blurb on both, plus a small paragraph
on SUID for systems that don't support either of the new options.
