I just read over the following Wiki article:  
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_MythTV_SVN_on_Fedora_Core.  
In it, it doesn't mention anything about backing up the database.  How 
would I go about this to ensure that when I remove the rpm packages and 
compile everything, I can put the database back to where it currently 
resides without losing anything?  Would I have to re-run mythtv-setup or 
anything like that?

Thanks (and forgive my ignorance here),
Harry
