[mythtvnz] Auto start with Gentoo

[Tim, Donna & Erin Gibson]

If you've a dedicated boxn, like myself, then there's no need for GDM, KDM 
etcetera... follow this link...

The last few posts are of relevance. No scripts just one line 
in /etc/conf.d/local.start, of course you still need to enter the appropriate 
info into your ~/.xinitrc to get you WM to load etc.

Tim
