Had I been able to locate it in the 2.5 branch, It would have sufficed to answer my questions. However, since the wiki.linuxcnc.org site no longer has a search function, and the index seems to be a will-o-the-wisp, I couldn't find it. For new bee, or even an old fart like me, that lack hurts the sites ability to answer even an old bee's questions. I would hope at some point, the lack of a search function, and a meaningful index can both be addressed. Thank you Seb.
