Have you tired the MythTV frontend under OS X yet?<br>

This runs on my iMac, but will kill my KnoppMyth backend when choosing
live tv without leaving a trace in the system log. I'm not sure what
is going on and it's hard to debug with no evidence except the lack of
the backend process running. But, the mac remote with built-in IR
works on the iMac under the OS X build. I'm not sure if the Mini has
built-in IR or not.<br>

<pre wrap="">I am also very interested in if and how you get this running. Are you
just running a front end or are you running the complete back+front?
Are you using the built-in IR or a USB remote? Which exact model Mac
Mini are you using? Inquiring minds want to know...
Thanks!

<pre wrap=""><!---->Yes, I am running just the frontend. Well, trying to, anyway.
I am using an ATI Remote Wonder (USB). It is supported in the kernel.
Built-in IR? This could be interesting...and easier than Bluetooth!
The model of the Mini is the 1.83Ghz with A Gig O'RAM.
I am in a dual-boot situation, which I setup with the usual guides.
Actually, I had done this so many times (Ubuntu, etc) that I no longer
needed the guides!
Install in this order:
OS X
Boot Camp: I sized the second partition for 32GB and formatted at FAT32
rEFIt
FC6: no swap partition, but it seems "snappy" enough. If I rebuild it
again, I will try for the swap partition. The /dev/sda3 partition is now
formatted as ext3.
I think I could create the swap partition by going back into OS X
Install - Disk Utility and making it there before loading rEFIt and FC6.
One issue I am running into is that rEFIt is set to OS X as default. As
no OS has been loaded at this point, there is no way for me to select
FC6, so I need to find a small USB keyboard.
Can any real Mac users verify for me that the Bluetooth keyboard will
let you interact with the system prior to loading OS X? Like, C for boot
from CD, F12 to eject the CD, etc?
