Knoppmyth in an attempt at creating a Debian distro with that installs MythTV to the hard drive. Unfortunately, I see things like this in the Knoppmyth docs:

“Note: You’ll still need to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to change the refresh rate or you CAN destroy your TV. “

And:

“Currently if you have an SATA drive, you must use Manual Install. “

I have a hard tme promoting how wonderful MythTV can be to non-geeks with issues like these. I suspect that until major issues like these are fixed, MythTV will remain available to the “technical elite” only.
