Hello Katie,

A good decision.
> [...]but we can't figure out which software to download.
To install software on (RedHat) Linux, you will use a program called
rpm. Rpm is a packet manager; it can install new programs, you can ask
rpm if a package is installed, you can update an existing package or
delete obsolete software.
First you should install your RH-Linux complete with the gnu c compiler.
Then, you should find a source for the hitachi cross-compiler. To find a
rpm package, you can use rpmfind.net. Search for "h8300 gcc" and you
will get the following results:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=h8300+gcc&submit=Search+...&system=&arch=
You will need a h8300-gcc package and a h8300-binutils package. The
something.i386.rpm are ready-to use packages (the thing you want), the
something.src.rpm are source packages from which you would have to
compile the actual programs by yourself (which you _really_ don't want
to do!).
Now get the brickOS source package, unpack it, and read the README file.
More help available when needed. :)
Regards,
Michael

We will use your directions as well, but what we were really stuck on was which of the brickOS versions (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
