Again, looks just great. If you are getting something like "Can't
allocate memory" or something similar, the only way I got around
it during the 6 times I had the issue last weekend was to reboot.
Then, just pick up right where you left onff in Jaord's guide with the
depmod -a then modprobe ivtv. You should be fine.
Don't forget to pay attention to the # vs. $. It is very important
to do stuff as root when appropriate and your myth user.
Otherwise, you might do something as root instead of myth a
screw up permissons of a file or copy something to an incorrect
location.
