I got some questions about MATE and wanted to install it and actually see how it worked. I started with a machine on fc17, which had Cinnamon and XFCE installed. After doing the yum install, I don't see MATE in the list of managers available at login. Before I spend a lot of time in documentation, it this normal? Does it not drop in like KDE, etc?
MATE is not currently in the Fedora repositories.
Okay, that explaines it, I thought the stuff called mate-window-manager, which
really is most definitely in the Fedora repositories, was the mate I wanted.
mate-window-manager.i686 1.4.0-3.fc17 updates
mate-window-manager-devel.i686 1.4.0-3.fc17 updates
mate-window-manager-libs.i686 1.4.0-3.fc17 updates
So what on Earth is the stuff in the repository, then?
To install, follow the instructions at http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download .... Which are...
yum install https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49862637/Mate-desktop/mate-desktop-fedora-updates/16/noarch/mate-desktop-release-16-6.fc16.noarch.rpm
yum groupinstall MATE-Desktop
FYI.... http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/MATE-Desktop contains the status for inclusion of MATE in F18.
