RTAI Installation - questions

[Stienen, A.H.A. (CTW)]

Hi Patricio,

You should only use the kernel patches which are distributed with RTAI, 
and at the same time try to use the latest stable version of RTAI, as 
the developments follow each other quickly. So download RTAI 3.3, which 
comes with patches for kernels 2.4.31 (if I remember correctly) and some 
2.6.*'s . Then get an accompanying kernel from kernel.org and start from 
there.

Perhaps a guide is useful for you:

Kind regards,
Arno.
