I don't need the real time kernel. I thought for my own sanity that I had better install the same thing that I am using here. I was going to update and pull a standard kernel during the update. The weird thing about this is that it would boot fine two nights ago. I powered it down when I finished with it Monday night and now it won't finish booting unless in recovery mode. I installed several applications using apt-get. Icedove, gedit, GpicView, GnuCash, AisleRiot Solitare, Wine. I was trying to use wine but in the end I did not need it.
