Hmm, last time i checked, rtlinux_kernel_2_3.tar.gz is 2.4.0-test1,
but i didn't put that package together. i'll look at it.

Yes, make xconfig needs to be fixed. i'll see if i can get it fixed
before we release pre9.

Yes, it makes it considerably smaller and allows people to get RTLinux
up and running quickly. It should have all header files necessary
to compile an RTLinux program. If you want the complete kernel tree, just
grab the pre-patched one (which should be fixed soon).

What standard? Where do you think it should be and why?

That's funny. i built that RPM, and i know i used 2.4.0-test1.

gcc-2.95.2.
Admittedly, we don't test RTLinux on a large number of Alphas, but we do
compile kernels and modules with the "generic" machine type so that they should
work everywhere.
