Well, I set up a fullly functioning (well, almost - but more on that 
later) Knopp-Myth box in about 40 minutes, and that included a 
full-blown hardware test run in bootable CD mode.

I did manage to hose the final install by selecting i686 debs on an 
Athlon box, so it segfaults all over the place, but that's my own 
bonehead error.

Also, I use a few NFS mounts, separate backend/frontend, and my own  
LIRC files, so it's a bit more invovled, but all in all Knopp-Myth lives 
up to its billing.

Highly recommended.  It's so easy it's easier to reinstall than to try 
and fix things you hose.
