Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu-8.10 with a 2.6.27-kernel and generally don't like
to install development-versions and fear to put a .28- or .29-kernel
under it. (This is also a productivity-system which I need for my job)
Does it probably work with a .27-kernel and the latest v4l-dvb-tree?
How stable is the Myth-trunk version?

Cheers,
Carsten
