How interesting. No flack from this camp... My experience was exactly opposite to Bill's. I was never able to get a MythTV install to work on FC2, but FC3 was almost as easy as FC1. I've found success with FC3 on (6 or so, I forget) different machines. Clearly, "Your Mileage May Vary." I always take it slowly, I follow Jarod's guide exactly so that I can identify any instructions that don't work for me and provide feedback to Jarod on anything I find that I feel could make the guide more clear. My last install was 3 weeks ago and went off without a hitch. One thing I will pass on... I was trying to get the Packard Bell serial receiver to work, and I was not finding success. It SHOULD have worked, but just didn't... couldn't see why. I shut the computer down and went off to another to send feedback to Jarod and while composing the email, I decided to go back look for error messages in the logs. Lo and behold, I restarted the computer, tried the remote and it was working. Black magic I suppose... the only thing that had happened differently was a shutdown and restart, but there is no reason that I know of to indicate that that should have been necessary. Marvin Match
