Thank you very much for your help. The part about the config file is way over my head, I'm afraid. But I definitely need an attitude like yours to become a better programmer.
In any case, the script I was trying to run was for the RTLinuxPro installation. So I really had no idea why it wouldn't work since supposedly the company should have tested it. But since I was having so much problem with that version, I went and got another newer version that I've been able to install and boot successfully. Now that that's over with, I just have to figure out what exactly I'm gonna do for my final project.
Thank you very much for your help.
