Thanks.  This is all coming together now.  So I did the 'rpm -Uhv' on the 3
RPMs you listed.  I see the /usr/bin/ethercat executable as well.

So now,

1. What happens if I run the executable?  Like, doesn't the code come with
multiple Master sample implementations?  How does it know which one to use?

2. Can I just modify/compile a Master sample implementation, or do I have to
do this all over again if I want to change something?

3. The stuff I was working on before you gave me these RPMs...is that all
irrelevant now?

Thanks,



Jeff
