Hello all!

A document named "RTLinux HOWTO" exists in the LDP. It describes installation 
and writing your own modules for RTLinux, the realtime extension to the Linux 
kernel. However, the installation instructions (and, partially, the 
programming tutorials) provided there are very outdated - they are for 
RTLinux 2.x, whereas the current release is 3.2 and lots of things have 
changed since 2002 when this HOWTO was last modified.

The thing is that I've been working with RLinux for a while, and I wrote my 
own installation instructions, and I they are now part of the official 
RTLinux package - so these are THE instructions :-) (While I was discussing 
things on rtlinux list, many people asked for such instructions, so I wrote 
them not to describe them each and every time a newbie asks, and then RTLinux 
guys asked if they can include my docs in the distribution)

Now, I improved these instructions and converted to DocBook. You will find the 
first version of my RTLinux Installation HOWTO at my LinuxDocs site:
http://artemio.net/projects/linuxdoc/rtlinux

So, there are two questions/solutions:

1. Should I take the original RTLinux HOWTO, and replace/update the 
installation instructions with mine?

 - or - 

2. Should I remove the installation insructions from RTLinux HOWTO and turn it 
into RTLinux Programming HOWTO (I can rewrite it in DocBook/XML as well), and 
then there will be two HOWTOs: RTLinux Installation HOWTO and RTLinux 
Programming HOWTO (or, RTLinux Module Programming HOWTO).

I think the latter will be better.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.



Sincerely,
Artemio.
