I used my office PC, which is a non-EMC2 Ubuntu 8.04 machine. Downloaded: http://www.linuxcnc.org/hardy/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-emc2-aj13-i386.iso to my desktop. Then right clicked on the icon (ubuntu-8.04-desktop-emc2-aj13-i386.iso) and selected "Write to Disc...". I don't recall installing a CD burning program, so it must call a built in program. I accept the defaults and select "Write". It apparently knows that I want to make a bootable disk using the .iso image rather than making a duplicate of the original which would make a disk with an .iso file on it. With Nero, I think you need to tell it you want to make a bootable disk from an .iso image. If you have made a disk already, look at the directory of that disk. If it only has an .iso file, it won't boot or install EMC2. It should have a number of sub-directories and files. It seems to me that I have a lot more success using a DVD burner to make the disks and also to install EMC2 to the CNC PC. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
