Hi all, My first appearance here! I am a linux newcomer, so
bear with me, please! J After totally ditching MCE2005 and XP+MediaPortal, I
decided to do linux+mythtv for my HTPC. I started out with trying out knoppmyth
and mythdora, but, tbh, they suck and was waaay to bloated for my machine. Therefore,
I decided to go down the Gentoo path, making a linux install that was as small
and fast as possible without spending too much time, and learning lots of linux
at the same time. OH BOY! After 40+ hours, I’m on the brink of giving up!
I have to be quite conservative and not use anything but a very customized
linux, as I’m running on a Duron 800: mobo: Abit KT7-RAID Harddisk: Seagate 7200.8 300 GB ide- Netcard2: Accton std. 10/100 ethernet card Right now, I’m running KDE 3.4 on Gentoo
2.6.14-r2, and I am recompiling MySql cause it failed to emerge properly,
making MythTV install fail miserably! Here’s my USE line: USE="-gtk -gnome X acpi apm apache2 alsa berkdb
clamav cdr dedicated dvb dvd dvdr dvdread gd gtk gtk2 innodb joystick kde lirc
mp3 mpeg msn mysql mythtv openal opengl perl qt samba sdk server ssl svga
truetype usb v4l wifi xine xmms" Don’t hesitate and comment on it! Browsing a few digests of this mailing list and my
experiences so far, I have reached the conclusion, that most of my probs
relates to having wrong/missing USE variables in my /etc/make.conf If any of u out there with a sleek running
Gentoo/MythTV setup could share their USE-lineup, I’d be MORE than happy
for it! Possibly explaining why particular variables are needed! I’m really trying hard here, but being new to
linux sure gives me the steep learning curve galore. Any advice would be much appreciated,
as I plan on doing an article for other newbies like myself on a Danish HTPC
site! TIA, Gabriel S. Hansen |
