HI
Apologies if this is a stupid question...i am in unknown waters here..

I installed the Wheezy version of linuxcnc 2.7x from the iso, which comes standard with 3.4-9-rtai-686-pae. Now i would like to install the preempt-rt kernal so that i can use a 7i92. I tried following the documentation - Getting Linuxcnc - section 7.1, but it fails when running "sudo apt-get install linux-image-rt-686-pae" and reports "sag210@graziano:~$ Unable to locate package linux-image-rt-686-pae"

this is on a lenovo desktop, 32 bit

uname -a reports
"Linux graziano 3.4-9-rtai-686-pae #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 3.4.55-4linuxcnc i686 GN"

Im not sure what i am doing wrong, some hints would be appreciated.

Thanks
Henk

+1 For stretch.........Wheezy has been "archived" and sorting out repos can be a bit of a pain.

Stretch is current, has packages for Mate desktop if that is your bent, of if you prefer xfce, the whisker menu plugin is included, which is nice.

You should have no trouble installing. Just don't use the amd64 iso ;)
