   * Get LIRCD up and running BEFORE you compile MPlayer as it will autodetect it if you have it up when you compile MPlayer.  (So the remote will work while watching Video, not Recordings)
   * EDIT /etc/rc.d/rc.mysql "SKIP NETWORKING TRUE!" is the default in Slackware 10.2 !?!?!?! argh.... 1 hour wasted figuring out why I couldn't connect to the database remotely!?
+===== Human Readable File Names =====
+  * Note this is specific to Mythbuntu
+  - Create a directory under recordings that you can write to:  <code>
+sudo mkdir /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/links
+sudo chgroup video /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/links
+sudo chmod 775 /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/links
+</code>
+  - Use the **mythlink.sh** scripts with a couple modifications to make the directories and links to your files whenever you need them.
