I am in this CNC frenzy right now, please do not interrupt it.


Keep going. Your enthusiasm had me trying to get a live cd working on another box so I
could poke at things a bit until I can come up with a machine to convert. I was trying to
run from the cd and use the -- persistent option but it never wanted to use my casper-rw
file on C: that should have stored any changes I made while playing around.

PC has USB 1.x so running from usb using www.pendrivelinux.com is a no-go.

My triple boot box that has linuxcnc installed is tied up most of the time running winapps
so I was trying to get an older box to work.

The next upgrade to Alibre will likely have me buying a Win7 box and then I can put my box
with the linuxcnc install back in service.

I am really enjoying your posts on this project.

Wes
