well, i don't think it's that old
if i'm not wrong, then it's this one:

d2334dbba7313e9abc8c7c072d2af09c *ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso

i've downloaded the newest ubuntu-8.04-desktop-emc2-aj07-i386.iso but cannot 
install.
my controller has 256MB but the installer still denies with a memory error...
I've been thinking on trying the emc2.2.2-1-ubuntu6.06-desktop-i386.iso as a 
alternative.

could it be that my z-axis is too slow for a certain movement? i think the 
errors
happen on g0 commands after about 40mm of movement. if there is a time
constraint, the software could trap into a timeout and answer with a following
error - but, to be hounest, this sounds ridiculous to me...

on the other hand, can some high interrupt latency cause the problem?
i know i have one with that epia-v motherboard - but as long as i don't move 
any windows...
i've a new (old) vga card ready, this will be my next test for the latency 
problem tomorrow.

Betreff: Re: [Emc-users] Following error joint 2

I could be wrong, but I think the BDI is a REALLY old version of emc.  I
would try to download the newest version and go through the stepconf wizard
to set up your pins on the parport, and then try running the g code again.
