Replying to myself for bump. I'm trying to get started on this today.

Question Recap:
1. Best way to get Fedora based mythconverg db in place after Mythdora 
install. Do a full install then restore my backed up tables?

2. Path issues, Mythdora uses /storage, my Fedora install used /video. 
Can I change that in Mythdora somewhere? Just use a symlink? I want to 
make sure the new Mythdora can find my old recordings. If I just copy my 
old recordings to /storage will myth be able to find them?

Thanks
Mike
