Knoppmyth
KnoppMyth is a specialized distribution of Knoppix for MythTV. It can be used to install a full Knoppix/MythTV system, a front-end, or upgrade an existing KnoppMyth installation.
Advantages
Ease of Installation
One of the major complaints about MythTV has always been that it is difficult to install and configure. KnoppMyth, however, is a general purpose solution to this in that it contains a completely configured MythTV installation system, as well as a full Linux system. If the hardware is commonly used, or well documented hardware, virtually no manual configuration may be necessary. Generally, a user selecting Auto Configure only needs to specify network settings, confirm one or two settings, and wait for the week's television listings to be downloaded.
Run From CD Possibility
When used for front-end function only, KnoppMyth can run off of the CD alone. This, however, requires there to be an already functioning MythTV back-end.
