Hi Pete

I'm trying to throw the same thing together but with Linux-2.2.19+RTAI-1.7 the
kernel patch and compile went well but the modules bailed out early on
HCFmodem or something ,I didnt worry about it this time (have to remember to
fix it later :-) tested fine with the rtai examples 
if all the realtime modules got built and the examples work you should be OK
so far...

getting the rcslib and EMC running are the tough part :-)

the ZipSlack distro is cut to the bone to get it to fit on a 100MB Zip disk
and many of the standard packages were stripped down to almost nothing
(many libs were left out from the glibc package etc.)
so you will need to upgrade some of the ones that are already installed
and add some new ones in order to get EMC working
(I found all this out the hard way when I did the first ZipEMC install)

I did all the downloading from windoze ,I'll add the batch file I used at the
end of this post (dont want to make it an attachment ,windoze would try to
run it :-) I'll also add a script to upgrade the packages in linux ,some of
them need to be done in order or they wont stick
oh yea ,and the batch file I use to run loadlin from DOS

that 206 Meg. will start growing pretty fast ,by the time you get everything
its gona be BIG ,I added a lot of stuff to mine including most of KDE-2.2.2
and some other upgrades from Slackware-current and I'm sure there is 
a bit of un-needed fluff in my setup 

from my notes so far
first
run the updatedb command to build the file /var/spool/locate/locatedb
or you will get a bunch of warnings when building the rcslib

now we need to change some stuff in /usr/local/nist/rcslib/etc 
create a new def file for this kernel with these commands
cat linux_2_2_18.def > linux_2_2_19.def
cat rtlinux_3_0.def > rtlinux_3_1.def

now open linux_2_2_19.def and edit line 44 to read
RTLINUX = /usr/src/rtlinux-3.1
and on line 61 change -Dlinux_2_2_18  to read -Dlinux_2_2_19
(its over in column 170 ,so slide right a bit)
there have been some bad reports on rtl-3.1 locking up so you may have to
go back to rtl-3.0 ,but you may as well give it a shot

now you can try to buildrcs and see if it works ,I use this command to 
redirect the output and errors to a file  
./buildrcs linux_2_2_19 &>buildrcs1.txt
and then
./buildrcs rtlinux_3_0.def &>buildrcs2.txt
I'm at about this stage on my system using RTAI 
but its getting late so I'm calling it a day 
(in other words I'm running into problems :-)

here are those other files I mentioned earlier 
download.bat 
update
linux.bat 


heres the batch file to download all the stuff you need to 
build a ZipEMC-02 distro.. at least I hope this is all of them :-)
(Pete ,you probably have some of these files already)

---------------end of download.bat----------------------

and this one is the upgrade script for the linux side
you'll need to copy this to /root and chmod 755 on it

-----------cut with ax and save as upgrade-----------------
#! /bin/sh
# copy our zip files over to the Linux side
cp /DOS/zip_dl/*.zip /root
# and install them

# update pkgtools
unzip pkgtools
installpkg pkgtools-8.0.2-i386-3.tgz
# unzip the packages
unzip first
unzip packages
unzip kde
# upgrade pre-installed ones
cd first
upgradepkg *.tgz
# add some new ones
cd ../packages
installpkg *.tgz
# and add KDE
cd ../kde
installpkg *.tgz
cd ..

# now put EMC in its place
 unzip nist -d /usr/local
# skip this if youve already got a working realtime kernel
# unzip the realtime patches
# unzip rtl_30  -d /usr/src
# unzip rtl_31  -d /usr/src

unzip monte_3 -d /usr/src
-----------end of upgrade-----------------

and here is the version of linux.bat I use to boot diffrent kernels
on ZipEMC 
because DOS only supports 8.3 filenames when reading from the
