Re: Linux/EMC

Steve,
My suggestion could still be valid as, in the case of my first attempt, I
could get linux up and running fine - 'XFree86' installed and AfterStep and
a couple of other utilities. Where it fell down was in setting up RTlinux
properly. Everything seemed to be OK but I just couldn't get EMC to run in
anything other than the simulator mode. Before I got to the stage of
changing the motherboard I was almost tearing my hair out (couldn't actually
as there's hardly any left!). Each time I tried to recompile for RT I was
getting different error messages - just one or two and easy to miss. I
wouldn't have thought LILO was so difficult to configure - have you posted
the script you are using to the list - I may have missed it, and you need to
tell us the set up of your hardware.
