I've been working on a live+install image of Debian Wheezy with this RTAI kernel, linuxcnc 2.6, linuxcnc-dev, hostmot2 firmwares, mesaflash, truetype-tracer, etc., all preinstalled. Sources are set up for automatic updates with new linuxcnc packages. Like the older Ubuntu images, you can either boot live to test your hardware, or install to the hard disk, from the same iso image. The Debian image is a "hybrid" iso, which means you can use the same iso file for a USB stick or a DVD. (The image is bigger than a traditional CD, so you can't install from regular CD anymore.) Instructions for writing the image to a USB stick from Windows and Linux are here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Hybrid_Iso **NOTE** the Ubuntu "startup disk creator" and unetbootin do NOT handle hybrid images. Use the above instructions instead, if you want to install from USB. To install from DVD you can use any traditional method to write the iso image. Hot off the presses this morning is a new version with linuxcnc 2.6.0~pre5. You can find it at the temporary URL http://www.linuxcnc.org/binary.hybrid.iso I recommend using zsync to download it: % sudo apt-get install zsync % zsync http://www.linuxcnc.org/binary.hybrid.iso.zsync ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
