Installing RtP from scratch on a new partition

I read here and there some comments about it,
but no formal installation notes to do so.

So would you kinda please tell us, what is needed to do such an installation
?

I have to run this on a Elan104 Arcom Board with a small compact HD
and a temporary attached floppy and CD drive.

I really do not which to have RtP running on top of QNX 4.2x

It’s for a University Real-Time Lab.

You need to boot from the CD with the .iso provided. This is your only
option at this time for the partition install.
When the RTP installed on a qnx partition the RTP does not run
ontop of QNX 4.2x. It just occupies the /boot/fs directory,
uses .altboot (or .boot if you wish) and it’s filesystem occupies
/boot/fs/root.qfs file mounting your QNX partition as /fs/hd?-qnx4-?

With the CD burned with CD creator 4
and the QMakeDsk floppy disk.

It worked fine, I deleted Type 79 (RtP Beta)
and then install it without any problem.

That’s great! I hope you enjoy testing QNXRTP Beta.
