Ian Thanks for that - seemed to move me a little bit further. I now have all the latest packages installed and am running from the stock Fedora kernel.
However, apt-get still complains about an insane number of unmet dependencies if I try apt-get install mythtv-suite, so I didn't pursue that line. I also tried yum install mythtv-suite. This came up with a number of messages about "Processing Dependencies" (which I think is normal), but then craps out with: --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: qt-MySQL is needed by package libmyth Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Term::ReadKey) >= 2.14 is needed by package perl-Term-ProgressBar Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Term::ReadKey) is needed by package perl-XMLTV Error: Missing Dependency: kakasi-dict is needed by package perl-Text-Kakasi Error: Missing Dependency: libkakasi.so.2()(64bit) is needed by package perl-Text-Kakasi Anyone got any suggestions?
