Hi TheaterLinux developers,

I have been monitoring TheaterLinux for a while and am also working on a
similar project called AMICUS.  While the two projects have quite different
approaches, I have now seen the benefit of making a Linux mini-distribution
to support HTPCs due to some of the install problems users have had with
AMICUS.  I am not proposing to write one from scratch but rather to
literally reuse the Debian Netinst Testing with additions for MythTV.

So to make AMICUS install better for new users, I am now pursuing making a
"base install CD ISO" approach so that the new user can burn the CD from the
ISO, boot their blank PC, and quickly install a base system for which the
AMICUS script can run in without all the internet downloading.  

Obviously, my new approach is more similar to the TheaterLinux proposal and
since there appears to be a lull in the TheaterLinux development at present
I was wondering if any of the TheaterLinux development group would like to
join up with AMICUS.

Please consider, I certainly could use some help.  Maybe this could help
generate some more interest in your project as well.

Thank you.
