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,
