Re: Networking with Win XP and RTLinux

I've never added a package to Linux, but my wife, who is reasonably versed in the 
Linux world, tells me that RPM is the usual way to add packages. My concern though is 
after having built the kernel, is RPM still available to me via the new RTLinux 
kernel? It all works with my application, but I've already had one spell where I 
found that the modules to get access to my ZIP and floppy were not there after my 
initial kernel build from RH Linux 9. It took me a very long time of picking at it 
before I got that worked out. The kernel build was cookbook to me, so I'm not sure 
what I've got, other than it works for me app.

Well, I'll give RPM a shake and hope it doesn't set me back into the stone age.
