Except for the download time of the ubuntu .iso. There isn't any huge hurry to get this, and I may just reinstall the 7/2011 emc iso again for S&G when I have the time. I still have the hub slitting to do, tapping the gear, and final motor mount construction to see to before I have to have the machine up and needing a computer running it. I haven't rx'd Arturo's interface yet, nor have I done any more on the motor psu except set the caps up to get an idea of how much real estate that is going to take up. Transformer and rectifier are on site. Enough for 6 amps at 40 volts. That should oughta run 2 motors on the lathe I'd think. I am considering paralleling that 425 (its an 8 wire) just to get the speed since the 2m542 can do 4.2 amps. And thanks to that bent gib on the cross slide, I may have to give up and lap that puppy in. Or put a full 262oz/in on it. > On 3/9/2012 7:13 PM, gene heskett wrote: > > Greetings all; > > > > I used the same cd to install today, for the third time. > > > > First was the D525MW boarded box I put on the mill about 2-3 months > > back, and where all I had to to was kill network-manager, copy the > > /etc hosts file over, and put another stanza in > > /etc/network/interfaces.
