Dear all,
I had to get a new computer for my CNC hobby and since I will be using the new 
machine also for other tasks i bought i relatively high spec (at least for me 
:-)) machine:

Processor:AMD Athlon II X4 640, 3.0GHz, AM3, 4C/4TRAM:4 GB, DDR3-1333
Motherboard:M4A78LT-M, mATXChipset:AMD 760G/SB710Graphic:Integrated ATI Radeon 
3000 (shared)just added a pci lpt card

Now i have ventured out to try installing ubuntu 10.10_64bit and theb try to 
run emc2 on it.
The install of ubuntu has worked like a charm and everything seems to be 
supported.

Since then I have mainly followed this guide ->Ubuntu10.04Notes
and executed the following commands:

sudo apt-get install fakeroot build-essential crash kexec-tools makedumpfile 
kernel-wedge
sudo apt-get build-dep linux
sudo apt-get install git-core libncurses5 libncurses5-dev binutils-dev 
libelf-dev asciidoc xmlto
git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git ubuntu-lucid
cd ubuntu-lucid
git branch rtai
git checkout rtai
fdr clean
fdr startnewrelease

Then my old display (the one from the dead computer) gave up on me and I had to 
buy a new screen first.
Now i am back and I can see myself typing again ;-) 
The next command would be 

patch -p1 < hal-linux-2.6.xx.x-x86-x.x-xx.patch

but here i think i should take the patch for amd64, no?


Thanks for helping me out here as I am still a bit "green behind the ears" with 
linux in general.

Also if you see any obvious reason why i shouldn't be doing this at all, please 
let me know :-) 
as i have not put so much thought into this.

Thanks
Nik
