TV Tuner/FM Radio on FC3

[Guy Fraser]

How do you have bttv loaded automaticaly, along with :
Initializing : storage network audio other
Or whateveri it says durring boot.

I have a similar card, and currently load the bttv driver in
rc.local along with the nvidia module, but looking through the
rc files it looks like there is another way to do this.

I can't remember how I did it in RH9 or FC2, and lost the /etc

There is a fine line between genius and lunacy, fear not, walk the
line with pride. Not all things will end up as you wanted, but you
will certainly discover things the meek and timid will miss out on.
