Re: AW: [mythtv-users] Mounting two hard drives to single mounting point

hmmm, perhaps I should rethink keeping my mythstore in an ext3 partition over 
software raid :(

[mythtv-users] Installing mythtv-xbox failing

[ghuntress]

I'm trying to build a MythTV frontend on an X-box.  I thought I was seeing the 
light at the end of the tunnel but now I'm stuck on the very last step, 
installing mythtv-xbox itself.

I have a hardware modded xbox (I'll spare you the details of how I spilled 
conductive paste on the motherboard during the TSOP mod) that boots and runs 
perfectly fine including network access.  I'm following the instructions at 
http://bit.blkbk.com/ and I'm stuck on the actuall kickoff of the installation. 
 The command is:

./install.pl -b

and absolutely nothing happens.  It doesn't return, error, open a window, or 
output any text whatsoever.  I let it run overnight just to see if anything 
would time out, but it did not.

It's probably something I overlooked.  Does anyone have any experience with 
this?

Thanks,

Gary H.
