Thanks, that will make my life easier, once i have setup my vdr machine, I will see if i can get my vdr RPMs then ready too. Since I had some private trouble a lot of things i planned are not finished. > As always, installing will save the old non-functional dvb modules > and upon deinstall the old ones are restored, so you can safely try > the precompiled ones.

I had hoped that the network functionality will be working with my full featured card. However, i haven't found a way to get that running. A goal for me was to make some scripts ready and package them as rpm to get filiago working out of the box ...but currently it doesn't seem to be possible. However vdr alone is a killer application ;) > any progress in poking mdk people to actually try to ship a working > kernel? ;-) just kiddin'... How true :( I don't understand which use a broken moddvb has in the kernel. I have reported that they are not working and a working patch is in the tmb kernel. So how complicated may it be to a) leave the broken patch out or b) use the ready functional patch from tmb ? However, i stop complaining. What i wonder too is what this : http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/lgerrata.php3 "New CDs and ISOs will be available shortly to correct these problems; they will come with the new kernel." means ? I got my dvd-only 9.2 yesterday, but from what i can see there is the old kernel on it. Communication should become better. However. The dvd looks a lot more proffessional this time in opposite to 9.2 and the packaging was better too. Steffen
