Linux Mint with RTAI

Ok I have the rtai kernel and LinuxCNC 2.7 installed and everyone is happy. I've attached my notes.

JT

just installed a new RIP version ans compiled it.

looks like everything is running ok.


My next step is try to install a Preempt-RT kernel (if exists? ), compile again and see if works.

If everything is ok, I will install it in a real machine a use with mesa Ethernet cards. (and try to forget Debian wheezy :whistle: )

attached are my notes

What I'm doing now to build the 2.7 deb is:
And to install the deb:
I have found that Xfce has issues with the menu and if you try and edit it with the menu editor it crashes the editor and you can't edit menus unless you replace the messed up file. So that makes me want to try LinuxMint with Cinnamon next.
