Gentle persons:

Things are quiet on the medical front so I thought I'd try to catch up 
on rebranding. I've posted several issues to the bug-tracker regarding 
minor items in the 2.5 distribution.

Next, I thought I'd tackle the "Installing-LinuxCNC" page on the wiki, 
which badly needs attention. Remember, I created this page on the fly in 
January by copying over and retitling the "Installing-EMC2" page to show 
our good faith in responding to the brand challenge but as I said at the 
time, I didn't edit the content of the page because it wasn't clear to 
me what needed to be done.

To my surprise, I find that several edits have since been made to the 
superseded "Installing-EMC2" page. In particular, the name and location 
of the install scripts were changed from ".../emc2-install.sh" to 
".../install-scripts/linuxcnc-install.sh" on this page. This is not 
correct because it is not in keeping with the EMC2 context. I believe 
"Installing-EMC2" should be retained solely as historical information 
for folks interested in EMC2.4.6 and earlier.

At the same time, the old install scripts are still referenced on 
"Installing-LinuxCNC" so it isn't correct yet either.

Please don't edit "Installing-EMC2" or other such deprecated, perhaps 
even orphaned, pages. I know it is easy to do if you have bookmarked the 
old pages or if you just type in their addresses out of habit. I will 
try to do a better job of marking such pages, starting with the language 
I'm adding to the top of "Installing-EMC2".

I will work this evening on fixing up "Installing-LinuxCNC" to the best 
of my knowledge of the way things are now.

Regards,
Kent
