Revision as of 19:57, 26 April 2007

I have begun adding more information that I have come across in my own installation. I would have gotten through things much quicker if this was all in one location, however I'm not sure if I'm going beyond the original scope of this document. I would have no problem if my additions were cut/pasted into their own wiki pages, added to the "HOWTO" section. It might be useful to have, for instance, a "LiRC Install on Debian Etch"-specific HOWTO. Perhaps, after I get all the information down that I wish to contribute, I will do just that.

ivtv-utils question

Thanks for starting this HowTo... I've a question on ivtv-utils...

I'm having problems getting ivtv-utils installed on my system and noticed that it's currently marked as "unstable". none of my entries in /etc/apt/sources.list reference "unstable" so how did you get ivtv-utils etc to install on your system? Or is there a step missing?

LIRC

I figured if people are searching the wiki for something specific (ie, they have everything else set up and properly running, but they need help just with LIRC), then it would be more useful to have the overall "Installing MythTV on Debian" document be modular. I kind of figured that, eventually, the document could be split into links, allowing for more detailed documentation of all of the steps involved in getting a MythTV setup running. It could also allow multiple distros to share some of the documentation.

Etch (is not Lenny nor Sid)

As this page talks about Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch) I think additional information for other Debian versions does not need to be presented at this page. I.m.h.o. the average user 'just wants to install a MythTV box on Debian GNU/Linux', the stable version. So don't bother those people with an overkill of information.

Therefor, I removed the following part:

<snip> For lenny (testing) alpha, amd64, hppa, i386, ia64, powerpc and sparc packages:

 deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny main

or

 deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main

For sid (unstable) alpha, amd64, hppa, i386, ia64, powerpc and sparc packages:

 deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main

For experimental amd64, i386 and sparc packages (Empty for now):

 deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org experimental main

</snip>
