I have followed Jarrods howto on installing mythtv on a redhat 9 system
using atrpms. Fantsatic document! I got all the way to mythtvsetup with
no more that minor hicups (mostly mistakes on my part), but now at the
mythtvsetup I answer yes to the two questions about clearing the capture
card and channel settings then the blue splash screen comes up and it
goes no further. I let is sit at this screen when I went to bed last
night. Over 4 hours later it was still there. I have checked the system
logs and see no errors reported.
