Why don't you just write a script that automates it all for you. If it encounters an error along the way, just abort and report the error to the user. Building VDR and plugins from source is very easy assuming you don't bother with tons of patches (which can break things quickly). It's also very easy to add in support for updating the kernel, media_build drivers, nvidia drivers, etc.. This is exactly what I did and I almost never have to actually do anything by hand anymore -- just select what I want from my menu and it magically happens. ;) _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
