Don't know if this would be useful to this conversation, I'm in the 
process of setting up a new myth system under F12 and am keeping careful 
notes of what I'm doing, changes to the environments, yum installs, 
applications installed, etc. Of course it's mostly a collection of the 
previously mentioned guide and a couple of others. So, I probably have a 
bunch of excess junk there, but it seems to work as far as I've gotten 
(fighting with getting HDMI audio output working).

If it'ld be useful, I can look at cleaning it up and posting / sharing.
