[mythtv-users] Question about Storage groups...

So let me just say that I am trying to get mythtv up and running and
am having a lot of trouble.  Not that I am giving up but that I am now
turning to the mail server for your collective help.

I have tried to install mythdora, mythubuntu, and even fedora then
tried to figure out SVN and compile from scratch (if you haven't
guessed I'm super computer literate and still learning linux) on my
htpc.  I'll post one question at a time to make it easier for me to
understand what I'm doing.

The storage group set up has never worked for me. I'm not sure if
these groups are suppose to be directories on my drive or if they just
are an internal way that mythtv organizes things.  When I get to this
point it says
Default
LiveTV
(Create DB Baackups group)
(Create new group)
If I press esc to leave the setup it says that there are not any
groups created and asks if I want to correct this.
I tried creating a directory on my drive then tried to create a new
group using the path for the new directory, but that didn't work.
There isn't a way to brows my drive file system so I cannot really
tell it where to put these recordings.

I'm sure that I am just looking at the ink blot upside down and if
someone could tell me what I am doing here that would be swell.

Thanks

Steve
PS.  Is there some pictures on the web of an install of say Mythdora or a video?
