[mythtv-users] Fresh rebiuld. YAY!!

[Brian Boyle]

Jarod. 

Thanks, I had done something like this on a windows box running mysql
and it worked fine. I don't know why I did not think of it. After trying
it, all was well and it was almost like I had never reinstalled.

I was reading a discussion you were having last night about a Via board,
do you compile all the software for this architecture from
scratch??(kernel too) Or do you do an ATrpms install first to satisfy
all dependencies. I am considering adding one of these boards as a
dedicated frontend and would like to know what I am in for.

Brian.

If you have access to /var/lib/mysql off the old system, simply copying
the 
entire directory off your old setup and onto the new one works fine for
me. 
I've done this a number of times to move my master backend from machine
to 
machine without ever losing any program data. I've written about doing
this a 
number of times in the past on this list, so search the archives if you
want 
more details.
