How far back will that technique go? I have a lathe with
2.5.4 on whatever Ubuntu dist was used then. Would like to
move up to the latest so I can use G71 stuff. Any big
problems to this?
Well, migrating from anything less than 2.7 (I think) up to
2.9 will be an issue due to the change from just axes to
joints-axes. You have to add some additional stanzas in the
.ini file to define the connections when in joint
(pre-homed) and world (post-homed) modes. That was the big
change that caused issues in just using the old hal and ini
files.
As far as installing Linux on one computer and moving the
disk to another machine, this often works amazingly well, it
seems they have all the usual drivers loaded in every
install. Of course, if you install a 64-bit kernel and try
to run it on a 32-bit only CPU, you won't get far. I think
the boot manager will load the kernel and then die with a
black screen.
