Ok, how about this, On Monday I will be getting a Pundit-R and a Nova-T,
I will be putting the PVR-350 in there along with 2* 120Gb disks (No CD/DVD)

I'll be sticking SuSE 9.1 [1] on and I'll document everything as I go, it'll
be UK/PAL and I'll make it as much of a step by step howto as possible.

Hell it'll give me something constructive to do while waiting for
apt to download everything ;-)

have a look at http://fastdruid.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/mythsuse91howto.html
on _Monday_ night.

[1] For a number of reasons:
a) Because I'm used to SuSE
b) FC3 didn't work for me
c) I have a set of original 9.1 disks :-)
d) last time I checked 9.2 wasn't available for download
