I ended up ripping out quite a bit of what makes MythUbuntu a 
specialized OS as part of upgrading to compiling my own. I prefer not to 
compile in support for hardware I do not have. Also added quite a few 
things to the basic install as this machine also does a few other tasks 
on my network.

Good luck,
Bill

PS - By now the mythubuntu team should have released a 0.21 based 
release. They were in alpha testing a couple of months ago and basically 
were waiting for the official release. I tried their alpha release but 
was unable to get it to boot correctly on my hardware. You might want to 
check it out.
