Thanks for the responses! I'll submit the bug report for the unzip thing. Although, is a bug report warranted if the issue only occurred once? I'd rather not try to replicate the problem by reinstalling mythtv (it takes a fair amount of time). As far as the X server thing goes, the reason I brought it up was muthtv-setup looked as though it needed it. That is, when I tried to start mythtv-setup at the console command line, it wouldn't b/c it claimed to not have access to the X server. It would start in an X environment. There is no need to respond to my X comment above (I'll look into it), but I am curious about the gentoo bug protocol. I didn't see anything about when one should report a bug on bugs.gentoo.org. Thanks again. > > > > > >
