[blfs-support] How to get RPM to work

[blfs-support] Kernel entries for video capture driver

I'm trying to use a BT878 video capture card with my BLFS system. Unfortunately I chose, in a moment of parsimony, a cheap version that does not have an eeprom. This means that although I have added the correct driver information to the kernel tree the card won't work. The only way I've been able

[blfs-support] Looking at Mate desktop

I have a brand-new minimal LFS system. It boots and I can access the internet with lynx. Now I'm looking at desktops. Of those listed in BLFS, I would probably pick XFCE. However, my desktop of preference is Mate. It looks difficult, but doable (maybe). Has anyone on this list done a Mate install?
