[mythtv] Couple Newbie Questions

[Cedar McKay]

damn amazing. I heard about apt for Red Hat, but was scared to try. Now 
I think I might. I didn't realize that apt could do kernels too. One 
question: How do I deal with the sound drivers that are already in RH8? 
Will apt "automagically" deactivate/eradicate those too? Or do I have 
to manually disable them?
