Version 4.0 Highlights:
Fedora Core 6
MythDora is now being built with Pungi. This will help greatly in future releases and upgrades.
kernel-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6
New MythTV 0.20.1 fixes release, with default settings customized for MythDora
Numerous DVB/V4L kernel patches for improved capture card autodetection
New install process, featuring the anaconda installer GUI, heavily customized for MythDora.
Firstboot customizations for MythDora, with new GUI menu setup partially integrated.
Both DVD and CD install disks, as well as a network-installable tree and yum repositories
A very nice database backup module in MythDora Tools
You install using custom instead of auto install. This is still very easy and you can customize your system the way you want it.

Ability to start with MythWelcome, normal frontend or nothing at login time.
16 different game emulators (Don't ask us how to use them)

Source
Information:
-
Mythdora is built primarily from prepackaged binary
rpms. Source rpms are comprised of both Fedora Core 6 rpms and custom
rpms obtained from ATRPMS (thanks Axel and team!) and Livna.org.
Sources
are available at:
ATRPMS: http://atrpms.net
Livna.org: http://rpm.livna.org
Fedora
core: http://fedora.redhat.com
Note: there are plans to publish a full SRPMS tree at http://dl.atrpms.net/mythdora/4.0/SRPMS/ in the near future, if they aren't already there.
How
You Can Help:
Beta Testing
We are very limited in terms of hardware types. We could use your help in testing MythDora on multiple hardware types. This especially applies to DVB and newer Hauppauge cards.
Development
Got an idea you think we should try to incorporate? Or have you already written / implemented it? Submit your suggestions via email or at our home page. If you want to get on the development team, shoot us an email ! :)
