[mythtv-users] Fresh FC1 and Myth 0.16 installobservations/questions

[Michael J. Lynch]

Geesh...this wasn't intended to be an indictment.  It was intended to 
detail the
problems I ran into with a Fresh FC1/Myth install, emphasize that none 
of the problems
were significant, and that everything works just fine for those that 
don't want to step up
to FC2 just yet.

As far as I am concerned, getting Myth up and running is one of the 
easiest software
installs for linux I've ever done and I don't have a single complaint.
