Hi Colin, > wiki: will do. I didn't know I had the perms to create wiki pages on emc2.
To create a wiki page, go to preferences page http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?action=editprefs Write your username and password. Pasword is "emc" for all users To learn the basic steps: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?BasicSteps To create a page: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?action=edit&id=Your_Page_Name Change the "Your_Page_Name" part as you wish > I thought about using the real ubuntu server install.

I would create a swap out of memory, but isnt that just redundant!! Because of the write cycle limits, I use ram disk for some folders. To do this, I edit /etc/fstab This is my /etc/fstab file: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0 none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /var/tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /var/run tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /var/lock tmpfs defaults 0 0 acemi ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
