| Some users of TC will for various reasons need to use their own custom built kernel together with the rest of TC. As an example my main use of TC is in music production and in that domain a lot of the applications are performing optimal only with the support of a kernel that provides real-time characteristics. Since the standard TC kernel does not provide these characteristics I need to build a kernel that does. Luckily, there is a set of patches available, that once applied (and built) will provide you with a suitable kernel for these music production tasks. I do not intend to go into the details of " | Some users of TC will for various reasons need to use their own custom built kernel together with the rest of TC.
