Sounds right. As you say, before going thru the setup, Ctrl-Alt-F1 to open
up a console, log in as root, make the edits to ZapListing.pm, and save.
Ctrl-Alt-F6 to return to X and continue with the setup. Instead of pasting
over those lines, try manually making the changes. My previous email
introduced line breaks that should not be there. Take a look at the original
note at the following URL (sorry, I posted an incomplete URL before):

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3489914&forum_id=33147

 There are small changes to two of the lines (the ones that begin with an
exclamation point). So, on line 878, change
<OPTION value="(\d+)">
to
<OPTION value="(\d+)"\s*>

and on line 881, change
$p->{description}=$2;
to
$p->{description}=massageText($2);

Hope that is clear, and sorry for the confusion. This did work for me. If
this does not work for you, you may be stuck with the 'apt-get update,
apt-get install xmltv' business.

Hmm, I must still be doing something wrong.

Her's what I did.

Boot from Knopmyth CD
Reboot when prompted.
Go to console configure network by hand drag over this message
and cut and paste the 2nd set of those lines into
/usr/share/XMLTV/ZapListings.pm (replacing the exisitng ones.
Went back to the X session
entered my root paswword at the prompt
ran through the setup.
But, again when I entered my zip code, I was offered no choces :-(

Am I doing something wrong?
