I started downloading now, but I already have a question. On the Live CD, and then after installing, is there a realtine performance test script ready? In the old (2.1 EMD2 distro) I used a file with a script like this one: /QUOTE BELOW #!/bin/sh sudo mkdir /dev/rtf; sudo mknod /dev/rtf/3 c

That will work - also jepler wrote a nice gui latency test program. You can run it from terminal by issuing 'latency-test'. http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.2/html/config_stepconf.html#sec:Latency-Test sam Mario. wrote: I started downloading now, but I already have a question. On the Live

Yeah, I wanted all good available latency test scripts already saved on the desktop. You come to a computer, live-boot the CD and click any of the latency tests directly. It's good to save 5-10 minutes of time that it takes to find those online. On 4/30/08, sam sokolik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Usually it works, you should try again (probably some network problem when you had that). Also if it still doesn't work, you can look at the emc2-install.sh, and run the commands one by one. Something failed (besides the pgp part), because you don't seem to have http://www.linuxcnc.org/ in your
