The problem is a lot of people don't need a kernel recompile to install 
lirc, others do. I don't think we need to be saying "mythtv install 
instructions, step 1, recompile your kernel" that will scare some folks 
off and be unnesessary for others. Many people, myself included, just 
wanted to see if I could get the mythtv working with a keyboard, then 
worry about a remote. I agree however, that in an install from scratch 
situation when you know you will need to recompile the kernel, it is 
easiest to do it right off the bat.
