I removed the extra lins from my modprobe and am trying to slim down what's
still going wrong.

Hrm I keep feeling I'm pretty close, but then seem to uncover something
else.  Has anyone been able to compile linuxtv-dvb-apps under FC4 or know of
an RPM source?  I can't run azap or anything yet as I can't get it installed
since GCC4 seems to have a problem wit the sources.

Thanks,

Chris
