What does this really get you?I don't see the advantage. I have had LCNC running off 8 gig CF cards in two applications for a couple of years and I quickly realized that I could have used 4 gig flash cards instead without difficulty. I think I would have a hard time finding CF cards

Dave, It really has nothing to do with the size of the drive, or saving money by cutting down the drive size. This is merely for remote support, I would much rather have a script downloading 200Mb updated iso's with bug fixes from my server, than 600+Mb iso's. Plus These machines are designed

Hi Download the 8.04 cdimage and install that. If you want a newer version of EMC you can install that onto 8.04. A lot of things have changed from version 9.10 of Ubuntu onwards, that do not make it ideal for older hardware. I have 8.04 running happily on 2 P4 desktops in the workshop, with

Yes, the parport stuff has changed between emc2.3 and emc2.4 and there are also differences between an 8.04 installation and a 10.04 installation. In emc 2.3 and earlier, emc's parport drivers would not cooperate with the linux parport drivers, so the linux driver was disabled by default. In emc
