This is the install process of MythTV.  I now have LinHES installed on
the computer in question.  Given the nature of MythTV and the fact I
constantly use it I do not want to rerun the install script.  SO I am
not sure I can be much help like that.

Did I fill in all the details about the machine?  I cannot see tose
myself in the bug report, but I am not experienced with bug reports.  I
can help you like that, I still have the machine and I can tell you its
specs.

I would question the wisdom of using 'taskset'.  Does it need to have
its CPU affinity set like this?  Had I been a (more) naive user unable
to pull the install script apart I would have been completely stumped.
It seems to me that using 'taskset' is a layer of complexity we do not need.
