| Post subject: | Frontend - live cd? |
I'm currently setting up an ubuntu-mythtv backend/frontend for the basement, as I need the computer to handle a few other tasks, and it should be easier than trying to do that with knoppmyth. But, upstairs I want a simple front end, I may try an XBox eventually...but I'm not quite ready to try modding it. I was considering just using my regular windows pc, and hoping there was a myth distro (knopp) that I could just put in the cd drive, boot, and have a front end, without having to install anything on the harddrive... ...will this work? |

Oh...sweet. It'd be great if someone could make a dvd that would just "work" like that in an xbox... |

I'm not saying it'll work... but try burning the ISO to a DVD... |

I'm pretty sure the MythTV versions must be the same |

dont know anything about that as I've only made one box so far... and that was only a few months ago... I would hope they build in some backwards compatability you can always upgrade the server |

I dont think the version mathing is a function of the live CD, I think all frontends need to be same mythtv version as backend |

Probably, but that has nothing to do with the linux distribution used to run mythtv. Currently 0.19. |

agreed, I was just warning to assure that you get a live CD that matches you backend. good luck |

Cool, thanks. Now if I could just get my backend working! I'd love to just install knoppmyth on it, it worked so well before. BUT I want a full linux install so I can set that box up to be a mail server, and perform a few other tasks... *le sigh* |

might be easier to add 'a few tasks' to a knoppmyth box then to add mythtv and the dependancies to a non-knoppmyth box |

If I could get a gnome GUI installed...then yes, it probably would be simpler... ps and QMail...gotta get that installed too. |

this would quite likely spell disaster in current versions of knoppmyth. |

Well, KDE or Gnome, it doesn't really matter...it'd be great if there was a way to install one of them. |
