hmmmm...I hadn't thought about looking for them. I will have to look at this during the weekend. Thanks for the tip. > > > modules.conf: I haven't touched it.

I just hadn't done it yet, because I didn't necessarily want things to load on their own until I'm happy with how everything is working. For now, the scripts are what I want. Thanks, by the way, for posting that. It'll make my life somewhat easier. What do you prefer for playback? My own preference is to use the box for a variety of multimedia tasks, and specifically as a pvr, so mythtv seems to be the best fit for it. -rex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
