@hans, have you ever tried installing from the bookworm repositories? All of the dependencies including PREEMPT_RT are part of the package so they are installed automatically when you install linuxcnc-uspace! There is nothing else the user requires! I would hazard a guess you could download the debian ISO, install it and linuxcnc-uspace in the same time as it would take to download and install our own ISO purely because of the superior bandwidth and global mirrors in the Debian environment. It's really disappointing to see people in this group who do not understand our Debian install process and the benefits it brings.
