So it may be a bit slow. :)  Also NOTE that these docs are far from complete and need lots of polishing to be a easier to read through.  I'm working on that now.  Feedback/corrections/suggestions are welcome!

Great docs, but I am having a problem.  I have gone through these docs
through ivtv install more than a half a dozen times and realized I was
using a cp
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/configs/kernel-2.6.5-i686-smp.config which I
should have used cp
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/configs/kernel-2.6.5-i686.config.  Well after
relizing that I got through the IVTV install along with a good test. 
Well something else went wrong and I needed to restart and I am unable
to get the msp3400, saa7115, ivtv and tveeprom to load.  I am assuming
that these are not being installed in the prober location.  which is 
/lib/modules/2.6.6-MythTV/extra. Is this correct?  what could I have
done wrong.

Thank you
