*READ THIS BEFORE YOU FILE A BUG!* #14

If you are building RTAI outside of the given instructions within the README.INSTALL file, please do so before filing a bug. If you are working on LinuxCNC development and would like to offer a distribution that will run on any machine, please discuss this in the #linuxcnc-devel channel on irc.freenode.net

IMPORTANT: Any further issues regarding kernel bugs will be IMMEDIATELY CLOSED if your kernel configs are not based off of the ones I have provided in base/arch/x86/configs

They are there for a reason, please use them.

The README.INSTALL directions don't apply in my case. Why was the mainline version replaced? Lots of useful information like the 1.1.2 Non-interactive configuration section is gone.

The current version has been dumbed-down for the lowest common denominator, such as those who need to be told to use the arrow keys to navigate the kernel config GUI. I think this sort of document is perhaps valuable as a 'quick start guide' or something, but it's no replacement for the upstream version.
