Thanks Greg for the prompt response.

If I understand it correctly you are talking about support of x86 type of
processor on a PC plarform. In my original message I wrote that the
overview of Linux distributions I was worknig on concerns use of Linux in
embedded applications. Such apps. will unlikely run on a x86 PC. What I'm
interested is whether the RTLinux supports platforms like ARM/StrongARM,
xScale etc. The idea is to do the development on a PC box but the target
platform would be one of those processors for small devices.
If you can provide me with this type of infomation I would appreciate it.

Regards

Mira

Hello from Gregg C Levine
You can draw your own conclusions as to why the information you need
wasn't provided. Basically everything is supported. However, I can
tell you that all of the Intel platforms that Linux supports, are
supported by RTLinux. However it depends upon two things. Which
platform are you thinking of, and which distribution are you thinking
of? For example, for Red Hat, you'd need to download a raw kernel
source code tar file, and you might need to do so, for Debian, and for
Slackware, I know you don't need to do that. They happen to use the
raw kernel source code tar file, that because the installer says so,
during the installation process.
