I would not recommend Ubuntu 10.04 or LinuxCNC 2.5 for new installs. But I believe you have your reasons and I won't try stop you ;-) What's the URL to the install script you're using? Sounds like maybe it's buggy. I think you mean the hostmot2 firmware, not the drivers? The firmware is available both from the hm2 buildbot at the apt source you listed, and in the normal debian archive at linuxcnc.org: deb http://linuxcnc.org/ $DIST base (Replace $DIST with the distribution you're running, from "lsb_release --short --codename".) You need to add that deb archive to your sources.list, run "sudo apt-get update", and then "apt-cache search hostmot2" should show all the hostmot2 firmware debs that are available. I'm not sure why i'm seeing it from my machine and you're not seeing it from yours. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
