your going to have to help me more, Jarod :(
'just install your distros lirc packages and choose default' - how and
where?! mythbuntu includes lirc, and i've gone into the mythbuntu control

aside from that, i cant find anything todo with 'default' either.

i'm at a loss on this one; i just cant get it working!
