[mythtvnz] New to Myth TV and would like your opinion

[Cameron McConnochie]

I hope I'm not going off track too much here but I'd like to defend
mythbuntu a little.

I did a re-install of Mythbuntu 7.10 recently and setup three partitions
(OS, Recordings, Archives/Misc).  Set it all up using the installation CD's
next, next next process.  I'm not sure if I've missed your point Nick or it
may have been fixed ???
