Installation:

0. make sure you have gcc 2.7.2.3 or egcs 1.1.2 (2.91) installed.
You can verify that with gcc -v.

You may get away with other compiler versions, but success varies
from machine to machine.

There are several ways you can change the compiler used for system compilation:

- make "gcc" a symbolic link to the right compiler, OR

- change gcc in the CC=gcc... line in the Linux _and_ RTL top-level Makefiles.


RT-Linux installation.

(!) If you have downloaded the RTL distribution with a prepatched kernel,
skip steps 1 and 2.

1. put a fresh copy of Linux 2.2.13 in this directory under the name "linux".

2. cd linux
   patch -p1 < ../kernel_patch

3. (Assuming you're in the linux/ directory)
    make config
      or
    make menuconfig
      or
    make xconfig

    Whatever you do, be sure to select the "real time " option in the 
    basic configuration.

    Also, please disable APM support. APM BIOS calls may have unpredictable
    effect on real-time performance.

4. make dep
5. make zImage
	or
   make bzImage

6. run lilo and boot the RT-Linux kernel

7. cd to the rtl/ directory and type
	make
	make install
	
After that, you can try running the examples (rtl/examples). The GettingStarted
file contains a brief introduction to Real-Time Linux.

8. If you change any kernel options, please don't forget to do make mrproper
in the rtl/ directory and recompile.
