You only need a Qt with mysql support (be sure to install the rpm for 
that) and an install of the mythtv source/rpm (same version as on the 
backend) When you set it up, put your db server's IP in the mysql.txt 
file, and all will work (you need to set mysql to be able to accept 
connections from your laptop's IP, too)
