Another question: is this set up suitable for development? Can you build
mythtv within the chroot environment? I'm worrying about ending up with
a build tailored to running on the server rather than the client. I
have a similar set up here, but I install the client onto a temporary
harddisc, rsync the installation to the server and then run the client
using nfs. When I build mythtv for the client, I make sure I run
at least the ./configure step on the client. I don't know whether
any of this is relevant or important.
