[mythtv-users] Best distribution for MythTV with Bt848 and C-Media Cm8738 audio?

[Apollo (Carmel Entertainment)]

Since I don't play with Kernel (I don't know how to compile)...
Is there a RPM of Kernel and Kernel-source that I could download either for
Fedora or for Mandrake and an example of a configuration somewhere for bt848.
Re. card type it is STB, but sombebody told me it is type=2 card (hauppauge's
bt848) with phillips NTSC+FM tunner. I am willing to play with the config file,
I just have hard time with any compiling.

Re. audio card, it should be loading cmipci module from kernel and working with
alsa.
