You might like to disable autologon and the screensaver. That's three "gotchas" that can catch out the unitiated, but that can be avoided in our own installer. The LinuxCNC ISO exists to lower the bar for those new users who may never have used Linux at all (I was one such, I had never looked at Linux until I decided to control my CNC machine with LinuxCNC) A new user needs to download and install an ISO anyway, so it might as well be the one that does all the work rather that one that leaves the steps you enumerate to be done later. Another advantage of our Live image is that it allows putative users to try out the system (and run a latency test) on their existing computers to see which are good candidates. For users who already have a working Linux installation, of course, installing from the packages is the way to go. But the ISO is not for them. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
