Thanks!

I tried a couple of things and was starting to run the MythBuntu 9.04
install over again when I got a scare about my /video partition not
being mountable -- It worked the first time -- something about not
finding a JFS file system on it.  Reverting to the old 0.20.2 FC6
system found it okay, so it must have been something hinky from the
abort/restart/reboot in MythBuntu 9.04.

Next time maybe I won't have to redefine the mythtv password in mySQL
now that I stumbled on where MythBuntu keeps it (probably the standard
location I just forgot about after using 0.20.2 for two -or is it
three- years).

Ran out of time to work on it this weekend (boss's orders :-] ), so
I'll have to try again later.

When I get this going, I hope to put a wiki page together on what I
had to do (and try to explain why) to get from FC6 MythTV 0.20.2 to
MythBuntu 9.04 MythTV 0.21.xxx.
