That answer is both true and often useless.

MythTV installs *great* when you're copying the entire operating 
system in which it has already been embedded by someone else.  
Adding MythTV to an existing system is often a bit more involved 
(ie: dependency hell and difficulties getting things like XvMC 
turned on).  If you do copy a Knoppix system onto your hard drive, 
be prepared for massive breakage the first time you upgrade any 
packages.
