I am working on an emc2 2.4 system that was installed with Ubuntu 10.04,
but a distribution upgrade to 10.10 was done by mistake about 6 months
ago. Emc2 is working fine but updates are not since 10.10 isn't
supported in the linuxcnc.org repository.
I plan to reinstall. I'll do a complete
Version control for the win. I'm a huge believer in git, but there are
others that will work fine, especially for single user stuff.
You can also use something like Clonezilla to make an image of the
existing drive, which can be restored if disaster strikes.

For your 'temporary backup' solution, install dropbox.
Put the files you want in there.
Re-install your machine, then put drop box on and get your
configs back.
Then if you want, un-install dropbox.
Or use ubuntuone.
Both have 2G for free.

Actually, if you can afford another disk drive, put in a new drive,
install on it. Then install your old drive as a 'second' drive, and copy
your
config files over.
This way you can keep the old drive for a while after you get things
running. Out of the machine is best to ensure nothing
I run two instances of 2.4.6 the first one uses stepper with no steppers
connected and gets treated like sim. CPU is 2.8 G P4. This is my desktop
machine with the CAD/CAM on it.
The second machine is a 1.2 G Duron with a 5i20 running hostmot-2. One

No, but I am pretty sure I know how, with push-pull optos.

I've been looking at those routers. Glad to hear they're a good piece of kit.
I know nothing about how the internal speed control works on the router, but
assuming you could simply feed a variable voltage or resistance in there, then
what you suggest would work fine. You could do it cheaper if
One bit of caution. The speed controls I've seen built into power tools
are not isolated from the line voltage. So expect to have to isolate
(optical or otherwise) any control signal between its source and the
speed controller in the tool.
