Wilson’s and the Myth Wiki for Fedora to try and set stuff up. However the
Nvidia driver just would not work. On the last reinstall this weekend, I
started with a clean install of FC6. Then I did all the updates, which
included a new kernel. Did the Nvidia install from the Nvidia shell script. I
still had errors trying to get X working. Finally at least got out of the
800x600 mode, but on reboot it would not always load the nvidia driver, the
message often said that nvidia.ko was not found. Did some searching found
others had this problem because Nvidia did a kernel mod on old kernel and not
new one like it should. Tried to uninstall old kernel using rpm –e, ended up
with a non booting machine. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

MythDora, but they seem to rename all the scripts such that you can not get
help from generic Myth wiki, thus I could never get the A180 installed
correctly. I tried KnoppMyth after the no boot this weekend, but it did
not remove the grub loader that Fedora had made, as such it never booted. Also
as I understand it I need Myth 0.20 for the MediaMVP, as such KnoppMyth would
not work?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

use a MediaMVP, which I have gotten to work with previous install attempts.
Which brings up another question, does the MediaMVP support multiple rate fast
forward and commercial skips, and maybe a video time line?
