Mandriva Linux MythTV install guide

Pretty decent install guide over at Grounstate here on installing MythTV with Mandriva. Got to give this one a shot, Mandriva (previously Mandrake) is one of the most user friendly Linux distros out there.

They use the following setup to get things working:
- C3 box used as both frontend and backend
- one big SATA hard drive
- one DVD-RW drive
- one Hauppauge PVR-250 TV card with remote control
- video out to both a TV (S-Video) and a large CRT monitor
- audio out by digital S/PDIF to home stereo
- wired 10/100 connection to home network router
- open source unichrome pro drivers
- Mandriva Linux 2005
- full MythTV suite with all plugins”
