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