For installation instructions, look at the file INSTALL. For notes of what is happening/changing in recent comedi releases, see the file NOTES. This distribution contains just the Comedi kernel module. You will almost certainly also want to download Comedilib, which is a user space library, a few utilities, and some example programs. Comedi has a mailing list. Send "subscribe comedi" to comedi-request@stm.lbl.gov to subscribe. Traffic is light, and mainly questions/answers about comedi installation, bugs, and programming. General questions about data acquisition are also welcome. Alternatively, you can subscribe and unsubscribe at http://stm.lbl.gov/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/comedi. You can always unsubscribe by sendinging "unsubscribe" (spell it correctly!) to comedi-request@stm.lbl.gov. Comedi also has a web page, at http://stm.lbl.gov/comedi. New versions of comedi can be found on the ftp site ftp://stm.lbl.gov/pub/comedi. Instructions for anonymous CVS access to the Comedi and Comedilib repositories are found at http://oss.lineo.com/cvs_anon.html. Comedi may be freely distibuted and modified in accordance with the GNU General Public License. The person behind all this misspelled humor is David Schleef , or http://stm.lbl.gov/~ds.
