Just noticed a new ISO at http://www.linhes.org/downloads/R9/R9.0/
which was created in April.

My system booted and completed the installation from that ISO.
It’s just taking me a while to configure, been many many years since I’ve gone through the process.

Thanks to Britney and anyone else involved in creating version 9.x.

Excellent! Been waiting on this...

How did you migrate the database from your previous LinHES?

I didn't migrate any of my old stuff - I just started fresh and began with all new recordings. However see below - I used to change systems frequently (mostly just playing with new hardware or different installs of Myth...). The following are the notes I would follow - always worked well.

Restoring Your Mythtv Recording DB After an Upgrade/Re-Install

Preparation
1. Insure that all files you want to keep are moved or copied to /home .
2. Get a current dump of the mythconverg database.

Backup Current DB

Get a current dump of your mythconverg database. I recommend dumping the resulting file into /home , that way when you re-install keeping /home, you don't lose your dump ;) PASSWORD is blank

mysqldump -u root -p mythconverg -c > /home/old_mythtv.sql

This will take a bit depending on how much data you have recorded/scheduled. Once this is complete, you can now safely begin your re-install.

Copying your data to the new database

Now you can use phpMyAdmin to create a temporary database for old_mythtv, or use the command line:
(A note here, if you did not change it, the root password is blank, just hit enter, if you did change it (recommended) then you know what it is already)

mysql -u root -p
create database old_mythtv;
quit;

Next we import the old database:

mysql -u root -p old_mythtv < /home/old_mythtv.sql

Now you should have a populated database with your old mythtv settings.

(another note here, this only covers restoring your recording information, however, the entire mythconverg database is there, so if there are some other items you wish to restore, now is the time)

From a web browser inside your network, go to the phpMyAdmin page http://dcerouter/phpmyadmin
1. Log in as user root.
2. Select the old_mythtv database from the drop-down box in the panel on the left.
3. Use the table below for the items to be restored.
4. Click the table in the left panel you wish to copy.
5. Click the "Operations" tab along the top of the right panel.
6. You should see a box in the right panel now called "Copy table to (database.table):"
7. In this box use the drop down to select the "mythconverg" database
8. Insure the "Structure and Data" radio button is "ticked", also "tick" the "Add DROP TABLE" option.
9. Now click "Go"
That should complete and now you have begun restoring tables:

List of Tables to be restored:
oldrecorded
record
recorded
recordedartwork
• All tables in “record…”
recordedprogram
recordedrating
recordedmarkup
recordedseek

Now, reboot the system.
