Gene, I got my SSD and hooked it up to the USB3 port. I tried to follow the directions in “Building LinuxCNC”. After a bunch of time figuring out what I was missing in required dependencies, it took about 10 minutes to build linuxcnc-uspace (linuxcnc-uspace_2.8.0~pre1_arm64.deb) and it took a total of twenty-five minutes to figure out the dependencies required to install and install the debs.
