That's pretty easy. I run VDR on a dedicated machine.
The whole installation is less then 8 MB in size and is mostly based on
a busybox environiment. ReiserFS and NFS-export is also included.
Some hints:
- create the directory /lib/modules/2.4.X/misc (replace X with your
subversion)
- change to the DVB/driver source directory and type 'make install'.
This will copy the drivers to the directory above
- create the directory /lib/DVB and copy the files "Dpram" and "Root"
from DVB/driver in it.
After this you don't need the DVB sources anymore.
To load and unload the drivers I've created the following rc-script:
(Attention: Some lines are wrapped! )
#!/bin/sh
case "$1"
in
(start)
echo "starting DVB drivers"
insmod dvbdev
insmod dvb_net
insmod i2c-core
insmod videodev
insmod dvb_filter
insmod dmxdev
insmod VES1893
insmod VES1820
insmod stv0299
insmod tuner
insmod saa7146_core mode=0
insmod saa7146_v4l
insmod dvb_demux
insmod dvb init_chan=2 readfirm=1
mkdir -p /dev/ost
for number in $(ls /dev/dvb/ | tr -d 'card')
do
for device in video sec qpskfe demux dvr audio ca osd
do
ln -sf /dev/dvb/card$number/${device}0
/dev/ost/$device$number
done
done
;;
(stop)
echo "stopping DVB drivers"
rmmod dvb

rmmod videodev

rmmod dvbdev
rm /dev/ost/*

My VDR-Start script looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
/etc/init.d/dvb start
/bin/vdr
/etc/init.d/dvb stop
The VDR script is started from (busybox-) init. Take a look to a part of
my initab:
---snipp---
::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
vc/1::respawn:/etc/init.d/vdr
vc/2::respawn:/bin/sh --login
vc/3::respawn:/bin/sh --login
---snapp---
BTW. I don't use a password library on my VDR machine.
If somebody is interested, I can upload my minimized environiment.
Final: BE WARNED !!! Mistakes or typos in the initab or in the
rc-scripts can result in booting failures. (I build all my systems
myself and I don't use distributions so I know all the dependencies.)
