Never had a need to use Linux? What???

You say you know next to nothing about linux, yet you're
going with CVS? Where's that logic? I've been using/admin
of various linux/unix/solaris farms for about 10 years and
I don't think I'm ready for CVS...

I thought Axel or Jarod just posted that it was enabled?

If the above were correct, yeah...

So grab one of the earlier sourc RPMs. I think there
are a few available...

Probably not, but you don't mention trying to capture OTA
from the command line outside of Myth. That would be the
first step.

Nah, 'cuz if you were, you wouldn't be posting to the list.
You may need to walk away for a week to regain your
enthusiasm...

Wait!! I must be in the wrong place then. I thought this
WAS the MYth support group...
We don't let each other fail...(corny, but I haven't seen
a problem on this list that couldn't be figured out given
the correct information to troubleshoot it.
