Complete HOW-TO Linux Mint 18.1 32/64 RTAI or PREEMPT with RIP install or deb

Thanks! PCW

I did not know that. Looks like the support died at the end of the year.

I tried to edit my tutorial to update this information but I can not edit my posts. Does anyone know if this is new or just a glitch?

Where now?

Plodded on and am at make -j8 with a lot going on in the terminal

Have not a clue where I am now. Pc has trundled away for 90+ minutes so good,eventually stops but nothing. Where do I go from here?

I wet back a step and tried hamish@hamish-Presario-CQ57-Notebook-PC ~ $ cat patch-4.8.11-rt7.patch | patch -p1 and got
hamish@hamish-Presario-CQ57-Notebook-PC ~ $ cat patch-4.8.11-rt7.patch | patch -p1

went back and tried

I have started from scratch on a clean sheet. I am now on Mint 18.3 Sylvia, Cinnamon 64 bit with nothing other than defaults loaded.
There appeared to be an error/glitch in one of the stages and are there any more?
