[root at localhost root]# yum install mythtv-0.18.1
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Cannot find a package matching mythtv-0.18.1
No actions to take

Also: if I am to use apt-get, and the FC2 instructions, where are they?  And
the reason I am using FC2 and not FC4 is because FC3&4 have problems with my
SATA controller and it was too hard to fix and found a posting that FC2
worked just fine with it.
