[mythtv-users] nuvexport installing mjpegtools

[Andy Rabin]

I'm a relative Linux newbie, but I've gotten myth fully up and
running, and have been happily using it for the past year or so.  So
this weekend, when I was able to install ssh (really not a big task to
use apt-get, but still big for me) and then get munin and samba
working, I was ecstatic.

So this evening, I thought I'd take another step and install nuvexport
to convert some of the files so I could delete them from the hard
drive and burn them to a dvd.  All went well until I tried installing
mjpegtools.  Upon issuing "apt-get install mjpegtools" I saw the
following:

21 upgraded, 65 newly installed, 7 to remove and 587 not upgraded.
Need to get 18.0MB of archives.
After unpacking 1364kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?


Naturally, I selected no, in deathly fear of destroying my X install.
Is there anything I can do to get around this, or is it safe, or
shoudl I go on happily living without nuvexport?

Thanks for any help

Andy
