[mythtv-users] RH9 Nehemiah w/ PVR-250 FE&BE distribution

[and]

I would absolutely be interested in your distro. Even if I finally have 
an installation running well on my m10K nehemia, I've never managed to 
get the VeXP(or any  other player) working to play dvd's and I'm sure 
there a number of other things I just haven't figured out yet...
Just the thought of having to go through this again, if my HD crashed 
makes me VERY eager to use your distro.
