[mythtv-users] rpms for Mandrake

[skeeterskip]

KDE automatically logs in as root. When I look at rpm
files for mythtv, they say "root" as owner.

I can run freevo from this terminal and other programs
such as xawtv and my fm radio program as well. I'm
using SSH right now.

I'll try and post more later.
