well,  actually,  most things I do turn into some sort of computer science project. I might actually try that on another box, similar, to see if the regular Debian installer does the same thing. To be honest I don't have much experience with the inner details of Debian,  I am more of a

Hi Phill, yup I can see that work too.  Technically,  there is not that much different mounting a DVD/iso9660 or the iso image itself. (Of course mounting the iso itself is quite a bit faster, and no CD/DVD weirdness.) So I have the samesimilar version,  but r13 (close enough I guess).

Hi John, I managed to install the Debian 9 (Stretch) distro. With that one I didn't see the repo issue, BUT  it didn't want to boot. The problem, it seems, is that the installer doesn't like it if there are more device  like /dev/sd* that are actually "active/installed/workin" I already

yup,  that is what I do,  I do write the ISO to a DVD so that it is bootable,  actually I can boot with it no probablem. The linuxcnc stretch distro has a grub issue/initramfs issue,  it wrongfully things the device (drive) is another one than it actually is. (I am pretty sure that's a bug).

Just an update. I loaded the AND function into the STMBL AC Servo Drive config file. Now ENABLE and FAULT must both be true to have the FAULT show up on the output. This allows the BoB to power up the HV supply and even if the HV supply is slow and results in the STMBL faulting due to no or
