Buy a keyboard? I run 10 computers in my house and own 4 keyboards--and 2 of the keyboards are typically not connected to machines. I'm assuming your Myth box is running on a Linux-based system, right? Linux isn't Windows--i.e. you don't have to plug a keyboard into it...
If you happen to need a keyboard for a while, there's this wire on the back of many keyboards. If you follow it away from the keyboard, it will end at your computer, where a gentle pull will disconnect the keyboard from the computer. Reverse the process on your new frontend and you have a temporary keyboard. Then, when you've done the "needs a keyboard" work, disconnect from your frontend and reconnect to the "donor" system. ;) Mike _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
