</div>Thanks so much Mike... about to do it tomorrow - finally got machine up<br>
and running except for the last bit of moving the cards, the database,<br>
and the drive (though it is shared from the exisitng machine at the<br>
moment, so it shouldn't matter)<br>
<br>
The only little thing I noticed is that the password for the old machine<br>
for mythconverg is different that this machines... does that matter? Do<br>
I need to change on one of the machines, and how?<br>
<br>
Thanks again!<br></blockquote><div><br>I tend to chamge the password to mythtv (LinHES uses this as default, *buntu generates a random password that I can never remember, and is (in most setups) unnecessary.)<br><br>In *buntu you change the password with <br>
<br>sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common<br><br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
