You're right -- I hadn't noticed the last modified date. |
19 |
Unfortunately, the Gentoo wiki page on MythTv has a pointer to |
20 |
that page right at the top. |

At the risk of seeming a bit dim... what Gentoo specific info? |
28 |
|
29 |
The page at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Linux_Distros#Gentoo has |
30 |
4 links to Gentoo setup guides. Three of them don't exist, and |
31 |
the fourth is the previously mentioned "official" install guide |
32 |
that hasn't been updated in 4 years and doesn't actually show |
33 |
mythtv being installed. |

It's just that I would have sworn I'd seen a pretty complete |
39 |
Gentoo MythTv HOWTO at some point, but I sure can't find it |
40 |
now. [I was primarily interested in hints for doing a |
41 |
"backend-only" install.] Anyway, I was surprised there didn't |
42 |
seem to be a HOWTO. I've done some fairly obscure stuff on |
43 |
Gentoo, and I think this is the first time I've wanted to do |
44 |
something and haven't found a detail HOWTO document. |
