2. Introduction.

This HOWTO document will focus on manually building MythTV in a North American environment. If you have installation instructions for a different region or Linux distribution, please send them to the author so that it can be included in other versions of this document.

Hans Kruse has setup a website that focuses on running MythTV in a non-North American environment. See the website at http://mythtv.nicenemo.net.

Pre-compiled binaries are available for a number of distributions. See section Software::Pre-compiled packages for more information.

Custom mini-distributions are also available to make it easier to install MythTV. A mini-distribution removes many of the "general purpose" workstation / server software packages that may be installed by default if you use one of the big-name OS packages.

See http://linpvr.org/ if you'd like to install MythTV onto a VIA Epia M machine.

See http://mysettopbox.tv if you'd like to install a custom version of Knoppix optimized for MythTV.
