Hi

Still haven't managed to install from usb, so another angle:

1) Is it possible to install 64 studio on top of a fresh debian?

2) If so, which debian?

3) Will I be missing some automatic configurations that would have
happened, had I installed from dvd? How do I fix these?

Any input appreciated!

Maybe I should elaborate a bit:

I have run debian with rt-patched kernel for years, with good
rt-performance. Recently switched to ubuntu (also with own rt-patched
kernel) with slightly worse rt-performance. Running the live-cd suggests
that 64 studio out of the box will provide rt-performance even better
than my old debian setup, so since I know how to setup a reasonable rt
system, I'm interested in all the the out-of-the-box, rt magic of
64-studio...

Sure is!

Ideally a minimal etch install.

Firstly, replace everything in your /etc/apt/sources.list with:
deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/stable 64studio main
(Or at least comment everything else out for now) You can replace
'stable' with 'testing' if you prefer.

Run
# apt-get dist-upgrade
or use the upgrade button in the Synaptic package manager.
Make sure you install all the 64studio* packages.

You will need to explicitly install a new linux-image-*-multimedia-*
kernel appropriate to your architecture.

I think you still have to
# apt-get install libnet-dbus-perl
In order to get the GNOME configuration utilities to work properly.

However, I seem to remember Free saying something about
# /usr/sbin/64studio-config new
being deprecated in the testing version - can anyone confirm this?

Hope that helps,

cheers,

tim

Like in "base system" (no X) or would you recommend one of the
quick-install-shortcut options in the installer, or simply a
by-hand-with-x install?

My guess it that this is the magic, auto-setup, right?

It probably doesn't make much difference. If you're happy with running
apt-get from the command line, then all you need is a system that can
run apt-get; "base system" (no X) should work.

Right. It's a shell script, as is /usr/sbin/cdd-config.

cheers,

tim

I'm using the testing and the following scripts are installed:

/usr/sbin/64studio-config
/usr/sbin/64studio-upgrade
/usr/sbin/cdd-config

But if he just want to run the multimedia-kernel with Debian Etch, won't
it be enough if the user becomes member of the group audio and if he
will edit /etc/security/limits.conf and also needed for 64 Studio itself
to give consistent device numbers for ALSA?

Cheers,
Ralf

Hypothetically, yes. The 64studio-* scripts do the transformation to a
'proper' 64 Studio install. Up to that point you're running Debian with
some extra 64 Studio packages on top.

cheers,

tim

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why not just install 64studio?

Maybe he has got problems with the 64studio CD which is a DVD or
something like that?!

Because I (as stated in the original post) don't have access to a dvd
writer, and couldn't figure out how to install with the dvd-image from
usb-stick...
