Using a MythBuntu live CD as a frontend
Now that you've booted into the live environment, you can give MythBuntu a try. The live environment is a full working MythTV frontend. In fact, if you had a machine with just a CD ROM drive and no hard disk that you wanted to use as a MythTV frontend, then you can use the MythBuntu live environment permanently. Unfortunately MythBuntu doesn't store any settings between boots (because there is no writable storage on a CD ROM), so you would need to configure such a frontend every time I was booted.
The live environment will display the desktop shown in Figure 4 when it is ready for use.
To configure the live environment as a MythTV frontend, double click on the "Live CD Frontend" icon on the desktop. You'll be presented with the frontend configuration screen, as shown in Figure 5.
