[mythtv-users] MythTV Install

[Richard Brook]

I did this At my home yesterday and today. I do not need to preserve any
directories since I only watch live TV or record, watch once, and erase.

The install used to inform me that I needed to be added to a group. I ran a
grep command to see if I was listed in the group. I was.

I read online that it as a good idea to create the db password MythTV,
during install.
