Hello,
I've been trying unsuccessfully all weekend to get the latest Debian Bookworm with the latest Linuxcnc preempt-rt up and running. Since I have little experience with Linux, I'm reaching my limits. 
I downloaded and installed Debian Bookworm 12.13. Now I wanted to follow these instructions linuxcnc.org/docs/html/getting-started/g...th_preempt_rt_kernel , point 7 (with preempt-RT kernel). Would that be correct so far? 
At point 3, Open Applications Menu > System > Synaptic Package Manager, search for linux-image, right-click on the original non-rt, and select Mark for Complete Removal, I don't know which original non-rt I have to select. I have attached a screenshot.
Otherwise, please attach Linux terminal commands so I can quickly achieve my goal.

Greetings from Germany and many thanks.

1) Why Bookworm and not Trixie?
2) Why not just install from the ISO image?

It looks like the automatic updater has not updated the manual page to reflect anything since 2.9.4.

You can see what the page is meant to currently say here:
