I have an EPIA M 9000, with mandrake 8.2 loaded and all the mythtv
prerequisites, just finished that this morning - TVOut works too.

As soon as I can figure out how to get remote liveTV and/or playback of a
recorded show, I'll know if this platform can be a mythfrontend.

I'm currently going over the mail archives and the code, but if someone
already knows how to do this, any help would be appreciated.  I tried
global replace of "localhost" but it seems there is more to it than that
(or else my homenetwork is hosed).
