Thanks for that link, I had allready checked out there forums to try to find 
the solution to my problem. To actually use mini-myth I dont think would work 
for what I'm doing. The capture card that I am using isnt supported by it, or 
freevix, or similar ready made pvr distros. Also, mine is going to be a 
frontend and backend in the one machine. 
	I forgot to mention that the main reason that I am using the 2.6 kernel is 
due to its excellent DVB and Alsa support. 

Thanks anyway
