2. Download the needed packages

First you have to get the necessary packages.

2.1 http downloads

For a basic installation, you'll need the following:

• Linux Kernel You'll need a fresh copy of a recent Linux Kernel. You can choose between 2.2.x or 2.4.x versions where we'd recommend the newer 2.4.x series. Please use a mirror close to your location.
• RTLinux 3.0 The final version of rtlinux 3.0 is out. You might either download the Kernel Patch or a prepatched kernel version. RTLinux patches apply for either 2.2.x kernels or 2.4.x ones. The patch for 2.4.1 seems to work with 2.4.2 as well.
• RTLinux PHANToM Kernel Module The main part :) You can either download one of the source tarballs provided or check out a cvs snapshot. If you'd like to grab a cvs version please follow the guidelines below.

2.2 CVS checkout

If you have decided to check out a recent version yourself please be sure to follow these steps closely:

• export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@decibel.fi.muni.cz:/var/cvs
• Login to the server (using: cvs login)
• The password is empty (just hit enter when asked)
• Checkout the source (read-only) using: cvs co phantom
• It will create directory phantom with the source code
