Sorry, this is correct.  SVN has example scripts in
mythtv/contrib/init_scripts.  You'll need to take the fedora script (I
assume), and modify it. I'm not sure if Edgy does anything different
with their init scripts, but you'll most likely need to rename it to
"mythbackend" and put it /etc/init.d/, and you'll likely need to run
"chkconfig --level 345 mythbackend on".

If your backend is already starting automatically with your computer
now, go ahead and check /etc/init.d for an existing script, and modify
that.
