Aloha-
Just downloaded you iso and cant wait to try it.
I will be using a amd xp 1700, 512 ddr ram, 80 gig hd,win tv, nv gf3.

Sorry for the delay in checking back with you. I had my power supply go out and it's not the easiest thing to get here on Maui. (boohoo) Anyway I am stuck I patitioned my hard drive as you recomended but I cant seam to be able to get out of the "Partition Menu". After writing thet partition table it kicks back to the previous menu 1.Partition or 2.Quit. I chose quit and the menu reapears. I rebooted and the partitions are there but I still only get the "Partition Menu"
confused in maui,

Unfortunately this happens with some drives and I am uncertain what the cause is. If you have another disto available, whip the drive clean then try w/ KnoppMyth again.

Ok I got it installed. YEA :D
I used partion magic to clean the drive and set up the partitions.
Couple of issues
1. When I tried "#mke2fs -O sparse_super -m0 -i8000000 -L cache -M /cache /dev/hda3
This should yeild some performance increase on /cache(used for the ring buffer)

#mke2fs -j -O sparse_super -m0 -i8000000 -L myth -M /myth /dev/hda4
(I highly recommend a journalling fs for /dev/hda4)

I got sparse_super OS not recogonized

So I left it alone.
2. I have to run "startx" to get x going and then left click mythtv

This is not a problem but it seemed like it would boot to Mythtv

3. When I try to watch tv I get a green screen and a small band of snow at the top of the screen.

How do I check out if the tv-card is working correctly?
I'm a purpetual *nix newbie.

4. Shouldn't I see the mouse/cursor on the main screen?
Again not a huge problem the arrow keys work fine.

Help me get the tv going and everything else seems to work.

Mahalo for your time and patinence

Odd, it should work.

You're right, GDM should start X and automatically log in the user mythtv and MythTV should start automatically. Check /etc/inittab you should see something like this:
Code:
id:5:initdefault:

This would be near the top of the file after some comments. If you see a 3 instead of a 5, make it a 5. This will start X automatically.

What kind of tuner do you have? When KnoppMyth is booting you should see something about bttv and /dev/video. It goes by fast so at a prompt:
Code:
dmesg | more

Yes, you should.

Use aumix to set the volume. No problem at all.

does knoppmyth actually use runlevel 5? I've been making all my changes to 2 Doh! I just assumed since debian uses 2 that this would too. Well I guess I got what I deserved by assuming.
