RTAI over the OS X kernel will not work, period ! The OS X system, whilst similar in many respects to Linux/GNU (it is, I believe, a BSD derived build), Linux kernel code will not work. > 2. install ubuntu 6.06 as that is the lattest for a PPC class cpu. i > think i still remomber how to manualy do a patch from the rtlinux ad > NIST days. at least i know linux :). If you *really* want to go with Linux, might I suggest going for Debian - You can always upgrade to Lenny (or Sid) if you want testing/unstable/experimental packages without waiting for them to appear in ubuntu. To be honest though, if you already have a distro installed and running, why change. > 3. unknown to me at this stage. > > either way, it should be this week that i start to give it a go Keep the original OS X install, then you have a chance to compile and test for both environments (and we get to see were things go tits up).
