[mythtv-users] Ceton card not being found

[brendan kearney]

because i have been having issues with myth, i only run it manually.  i do
not have the backend start automatically on boot.  once i get it working, i
plan on having it auto start.

this what i did to setup the /dev/ceton/blah files...

[root at desktop dev]# cd /dev
[root at desktop dev]# mkdir ceton
[root at desktop dev]# cd ceton
[root at desktop ceton]# for dev in `ls ../ctn*`
> do
> ln -s $dev .
> done
[root at desktop ceton]# ll
