Prerequisites:

 - a configured kernel source tree, the same as what you would need
   for compiling RTAI or RTLinux.  

 - a compiled RTAI source tree.  Version 1.3 is recommended, as well
   as the anon-CVS tree.

   -or-

 - a configured RTLinux source tree.  Version 2.3pre2 is recommended.
   Earlier versions have not been tested.


Instructions:

 - Configure rtnet: run 'make'.  This will ask you 1) where your Linux
   kernel source is located, and 2) where your RTAI/RTLinux source tree
   is located.  It will then ask you whether or not to compile various
   drivers that are included.  It is recommended to say yes to each
   one, since they do not conflict with normal Linux drivers.
 
 - Compile rtnet: run 'make'.

 - Install the modules: (as root) run 'make modules_install'.

 - Install the utilities: (as root) run 'make install'.
