LinVDR For Linux

Basically, it's an approach to build a small, cut to the bone, ready and easy to install VDR Linux distribution. LinVDR is a complete, breathing Linux system smaller than 128 MB with a complete digital Video Disk Recorder (VDR) / Personal Video Recorder (PVR) and several plugins -- listed seperately below. For easy access we installed additionaly the browser frontend VDR Admin and a Samba share for up- and downloading music or DVD images with Windows clients.

The base system is Debian Woody compatible (only compatible, not Debian Woody itself!) with the DVB driver from Convergence and Klaus Schmidingers unbeated Video Disk Recorder Software VDR. All this Tom has mixed smoothly together, and I made the install system and installation programme -- suitable for normal users without Linux knowledge.
