Re: Getting EMC to install. Was: Is EMC and RTL2.2.13 viable?

["Steve Carlisle" <quatsein-at-island.net>]

I would suggest that new users start out with RH 5.2 and
use Tim's install script. That will give you more Linux savy
to attempt the install with the newer versions of linux. If you
attempt to install cutting edge software with no experience
then you have to be prepared to spend maybe weeks and
weeks of install punishment, just like the fellows had to do
with RH 5.2. The quick install disk (BDI) was hashed over
a while back, and it seemed there was not enough people
interested in developing it for this group of users.

	Thanks a lott!!!!

	Hope this wil do it. 

	Btw, would it be possible to make a complete list of what components
are neded and other setupp things that need to be taken care of???? I think
this would be helpfull for manny trying to get this ting to work. It is
most
certainly needed! Many people trying to install the pakage are not
sxperienced with linux as it is. 

	I downloaded the prepatched kernel for RTLinux 2.0, and I most
certainly found the install.phil file extremely helpfull. Annybody
experiencen enough to make this kind of help file for EMC?

	I untared the file once more to se if it was there, but it wasn't.
Is this directory made during a compilation or something????

	Hope so. I'm runnung on an 166 Pentium. I have no problems with slo
response when I try to start the sim.run script. But when I tryed emc.run
my
machine became REALY slo. It took about 20-30 sekonds from when I moved the
mouse until it reacted. After a few minutes it suddenly shutt down the
window, and I was back in normal mode.
