you talked about installing kernel 2.4.16, one point to note is that i 
had trouble getting the ivtv driver (for the pvr-250) to install on 
anything less than 2.4.20 kernel (although someone did say that they had 
it going on 2.4.19, but patched up specially).  i know that there is 
alot more to mythtv than the pvr-250 card, but that definitely seems to 
be a draw recently (myself included), and getting the ivtv module 
compiled and installed is out of the scope of this doc, probalby worth 
at least a mention so that someone doesn't have to upgrade the kernel twice.

i had to install the msttcorefonts manually, the epg looked horrible 
with a blocky bitmapped font, installing the msttcorefonts package 
cleaned that up nicely.

i'll keep look over it and let you know if i think of anything else. 
 excellent job!

cheers,
