Actually, installing the entire mythtv suite with all the extras by 
issuing the command 'apt-get install mythtv-suite' does have it's charm.

I have been wanting to install it all by source and having read this, I 
think I will give it a try. As for trying to do mythtv with the 1ghz 
via? This is a perfect solution for a small footprint myth box the asus 
pundit-r is another popular small footprint box. If you are thinking 
HDTV using one of those, then the Hawaiian word for loco would be 
appropriate. :)

If anybody wants my config files just email me and ask I will give them 
up if you want, but www.wilsonet.com has all the working config files 
also and is the best howto for installing using apt-get.
