I just finished building my MythTV box with a PVR350 using Fedora
Core1 following Jerod's guide. I think it's beneficial to go through
the steps yourself instead of having it done automatically like
Knoppmyth. When you run into problems later, you at least will have
some knowledge of how things are setup and configured.
