EMC running at last!

It has been a long and hard battle with rtlinux and emc but I may have
finally won the battle! The trick seems to be (for me!) to copy rtlinux
and linux both to /usr/src. Symbolic links would not work for me
somehow. I know not why.
I have one last hurdle (or maybe only a few more hurdles!). I do not
have the computer hooked up to an actual machine yet and I can't get the
estop to reset. I presume the system thinks I have hit a limit switch
or something. The axis fonts are red... Not the green of a ready to go
system. I presume there is a place to tell the program how to behave
but I don't know where that is. I would guess in the emc.ini file. I
will be running a stepper motor system with limit switches. The machine
is already up and running with AHHA controls but I haven't made a new
cable for the parallel port to convert to emc yet. I predict that will
be the easy part. I want to check out emc before I actually connect the
machine.
Suggestions anyone?
