However, I've put up the kernel config at the actual DigiMyth box at home.
In my default runlevel, I have mysql, mythbackend, lircd, alsasound and lm_sensors for the multimedia features. Since I'm using the box as a firewall at home, I also have ez-ipupdate, dhcp, sshd, iptables, net.eth[01] and apache2.
Last but not least, I have created my own init.d files for asusfan and startx. (asusfan and startx init.d files)
The startx init.d file calls start-x-wm-myth which in turn calls start-wm-myth
This is not the proper way to do it.. if you have a better suggestion, please let me know.
I chose to partition my 250GB drive pretty easy - 14GB for /, 40MB for /boot, 1GB for swap, and the rest (220GB) for /mnt/store where I let MythTV search for music, video and pictures.
To have a seamless access to the flashcards inserted, I tried using submount/subfs and it worked good enough. But it's not totally seamless (spits out errors when I df, for example) and doesn't work all that reliable.
If anyone have another, better solution I'd be glad to try it until MythTV supports HAL/D-Bus.
Anyway, the fstab entry is:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/smartmedia subfs fs=vfat,sync,umask=0 0 0
