Are these still available anywhere? Correct me if im wrong, but wouldn't you be required to either A: be using a repository that has packaged rt-kernels, or B: have the RPMs for the rt-kernel locally, on your machine....? (to use the yum or rpm methods). > There is the link below, but it appears to be > 3 years old and itself > points to some broken links. > > http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/RPMInstall > > It would be nice to have something like "yum install rt ..." to get the > latest version of RT kernel build. Ubuntu does something like that. But, it wont give you the latest, just what is available. IF you want the latest get the sources.....I don't use Ubuntu, as i use Fedora. But when i did try ubuntu with a "stock" rt-kernel from the repo, it wasn't all that great. * don't you think it is fairly simple task to just get kernel sources, use the corresponding rt-patch for the given kernel, and then just compile it? If you have never done this before, it is actually quite simple once you go through it, once or twice. It also has some advantages, i have always had better quality kernels when i tune and compile them myself.... Then you could also strip away all of the modules, that your machine wont need, that would be built into a more generic kernel, available in a repo. You could also optimize your kernel further, disable features that you dont need. maybe compile the kernel specifically for your cpu... Patching the kernel is not hard, nor is compiling it, nor optimizing it. I know for myself, even if i could just install an rt-kernel using yum, i probably wouldn't. It wouldn't be as good as doing it myself. just my opinions cheerz jordan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
