I'll let you know how it goes. I've decided since I've lost the
recordings we had on the NFS server that I'll start from scratch and
upgrade everything. I've been running mysql-4 so II'm moving to 5. I
was already on myth-0.20 so I'll be building a slightly newer one of
those. Looks like I should upgrade my kernel so I can get newer ivtv
drivers but not sure I want to try and go that far today. I'd like to
see if I can get things working again by 5PM. I've installed a USB
drive so I have storage. Basically now it comes down to 'Gentoo don't
fail me now!'

Hard to get my work done at home with this stuff going on but I depend
on Myth streaming TV across my network. I trade stocks and need to
have access to some form of TV.

Cheers,
Mark
