Thanks in advance and sorry again for the long winded intro.<br>
I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but changing the host<br>
configuration of your MythTV system is a very easy process--and not one<br>
that "no sane person would choose to start from." :)<br>

Basically I am trying to switch from MythDora to MythBuntu without<br>
using a new machine or any extra blank storage to make it easier.<br>
<br>
My reason for making the switch is that there have always been somethings<br>
that didn't really work well for me with MythDora (a couple of this didn't<br>
seem to work at all however not vital we have gone without) so when I<br>
set up my Myth system at home (having used the school system as a learning<br>
process :-)) I used MythBuntu and have found it much better and easier to<br>
work with so have decided to do the switch.<br>

Maybe you need to step back and define what exactly you find lacking in<br>
MythDora vs MythBuntu, aside from being 'easier'. They are both Linux<br>
underneath, and although they do have some differences in how they do<br>
things, they are pretty similar. I don't know if it would be worth the time<br>
(and risk) of doing a sort of in place 'upgrade', as opposed to learning<br>
how to use MythDora to do what you are trying to do. Having said that, what<br>
you are proposing isn't *terribly* difficult, but there is risk, and<br>
depending on the criticality of the service you are providing, the reward<br>
may not be worth it if something goes wrong.<br>

Isn't Mythdora basically gone, now, though? I'd think it would make sense to move from a no-longer-in-development MythTV-centric distro to an active MythTV-centric distro.<br>

Mike<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div style>Well, yes, but it's still Fedora (albeit FC12), and moving to Mythbuntu, if it's a current version, would mean an upgrade to MythTV as well. It's all doable, and I wouldn't have any issues with doing it myself, a self professed Linux noob might find it a bit more difficult. All of the other advice is good.</div>
