Curse KnoppMyth?! Perhaps this is why my body ached and I couldn't sleep
last night. The MythTV versioning (non) issue is not a KnoppMyth issue.
Any one capable of reading should be about to figure this out. In the 18
hours it took you to install Gentoo and MythTV, I could have installed
KnoppMyth on 18 PCs. This includes downloading 0.18, producing a debs on
one to be installed on others (with much time remaining to watch TV).

Yes, KnoppMyth is cool. If you want to use Gentoo, that is your option. I
however would appreciate it if you didn't curse my efforts to make the
Linux/MythTV install easy for those that have better things to do with thier
time.
