+In order to use comedi with RTAI, you need to use the
+RTHAL patch that I distribute, instead of Paolo's 'copyto'
+scripts.  The reason for this is simple -- without it,
+Comedi has no way to determine whether or not a kernel
+is an RTAI-capable kernel or not.  This patch is
+available at ftp://stm.lbl.gov/pub/realtime/patch-2.2.14rthal1.
+
+You need to use RTAI version 1.1.  Newer versions may
+also be ok.  If not, fix it and send me a patch.
+
+Assuming Comedi correctly identifies your kernel as an
+RTAI kernel, you will be given the option "Real-time
+support" during configuration.
+
+The top-level Makefile has a few configrable options for
+RTAI:
+
+LINUXDIR allows you to choose the kernel to use
+for building, this obviously has to be the kernel you will
+be running while using Comedi.  The default is /usr/src/linux.
+
+RTAIDIR allows you to choose the location of the RTAI header
+files.  If you install the RTAI header files on your
+system (typical), you do not need to set RTAIDIR, since it
+defaults to the headers in /usr/include/rtai.  For cross
+compilation and other situations where you don't want to
+use the headers installed in /usr/include, define RTAIDIR.
