Frontends:

The next part about installing the Frontends which are the machine's you'll have at your TV's. This is the machine that runs the graphical interface - which you'll control your system with. The important part here - is after the default installation - is to make your GNOME works great. So install all your different drivers including sound, that you'll need for this. This is different according to which machine you'll use as a frontend, but I found the ASUS EEE B202 caurse of the poweruse of the little machine. You'll still need to check ifg everything is working before getting starting with setting up the frontends. This little machine of my - uses a Intel945 graphiccard.

In the end you should setup sound,desktop etc before you proceed to install of MythTV packages - as described above. Remember to set the MTD also just like above. The only MythTV package you shouldn't install is the mythweb - which is only on the backend it should run. Start by editing the file in /etc/myth/.mythtv/mysql.txt

This is done for the MTD to be able to find where the daemon runs.

The next part is mounting the drives. You should install the nfs - but instead of exporting the drives - we'll import this time - and wanting it to be done at boot time so add these lines to your /etc/fstab

But remember to make the directory's like we did on the backend. Afterwards chown & chmod so we'll have the rigth permissions etc. When that is done - You're ready to start the frontend afterwards. So run:

And the graphical interface will now start up with the setup. The most important thing is to set the masterbackend IP in the konfiguration options here. All other settings is depending on what you'll have them - But just take it slow and easy and read them. Remember to set the settings for video, music, pictures and recording. So when you're done with that - your default installation is done.

I have made many other moderations along the way - which I'm making in a different section, carse it's NOT default installations.
