If i understand you correctly, you have installed LinuxCNC off the Live Image, which gave you Debian Wheezy with our RTAI kernel and LinuxCNC 2.6 or 2.7~preSomething. Then you manually installed Debian's rt-preempt kernel, cloned the git repo, and built linuxcnc for "uspace", and you've been running your machine with that. Is that understanding all correct? (You can check which kernel you're actually running with the "uname -a" command.) If so, then you can safely remove linux-image-rtai and let it auto-remove linuxcnc. The rt-preempt kernel will be left behind, and the linuxcnc that you built will not be removed, and will still run fine. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
