What do you mean by install as root?
I'm sure I got an error when I tried to install (using rpm) as
anything other than root. So what I did was:
create the mythtv account
install the mythtv rpms as root
ran mythtvsetup as user mythtv
ren mythfilldatabase as user mythtv
Now I'm starting mythbackend as a service (which I presume means it's
running as root).
And I'm starting mythfrontend as user mythtv.
Is this right?
