I'm not actually trying to run the frontend. Right now the frontend
will NOT work because mythtvbackend itself isn't running.

To me, the message seem to indicate that mythbackend tryies to start
and then dies because it cannot access the mythconverg database at
mythtv at macmini, which is what I see from the command line also.

Unless you are suggesting that my user account on the server, where
I'm trying to run mythtv-setup, either needs to have a mysql.txt file
before I ever run mythtv-setup.

Thanks,
Mark
