\nWell after much mucking around I think I have finally got MythTV and Gentoo Linux working as required. I have had to install a fair bit of extra stuff to do the things I want but it was worth it. I now know a lot more about Linux and Gentoo.<\/p>\n
One very useful hint I will give to the world is USE flags. The use flags you choose at the start will save you many many recompiles. Also definately set up CCache (Compiler Cache) http:\/\/gentoo-wiki.com\/TIP_Use_ccache<\/p>\n
Well just so other people can save time, here is my Use flags for MythTV and Gentoo Linux:<\/p>\n
