[Cialug] Myth Games

[Tony Bibbs]

Yeah, seems that versions of Knoppmyth break things and I'd rather just 
stick with what I know given how finniky all this stuff can be.  The 
setup was pretty painful but once I get this working hopefully it'll run 
for a year or more before I get the upgrade urge again.

I am, however, using knoppmyth for frontends.
