### 2.1.2.1 Introduction

I have updated this install page to include rtlinux-2.0, rtlinux-2.2, and rtlinux-2.2a files. Where there are differences they will be noted by a heading that will look something like Note - 2.0.

This guide is based on an installed Linux Mandrake 7.0 that I purchased at Borders. It is a Macmillan published version and has a 3 cdrom set and uses the Linux 2.2.14 kernel with minor modifications by Mandrake. When I installed the Linux to a new hard drive, I let mandrake set up the disk partitions but renamed the smaller one / and the bigger one /usr. I also asked that the install include the development libraries.

Mandrake comes with several pre-compiled kernels and the modules to support them. A tar of the linux kernel is not ordinarily installed on the hard drive.

It is my understanding from several installers that this page will also help with an install using the Red Hat 6.2 distribution. There will be different windows on the screen and some differences in appearance.

Throughout this page I will use dark green letters to indicate the lines of text that I entered into the console konsole. I will use dark red to indicate the response of the computer to my command. Medium red lines are the focus on the discussion. For the sake of brevity, I have edited many of the responses of the computer when it was asked to compile large numbers of files. Some of these lengthy responses are included as files and are linked to this document so that you can compare your results.
