Thanks Eric, upon rereading i think you're right and i'm wrong. If Gregg's goal is to install LinuxCNC from the 2.5 LiveCD onto a machine that isn't connected to the internet, and then upgrade LinuxCNC to the latest version, then do this: Download the latest release deb from here: http://linuxcnc.org/dists/lucid/linuxcnc2.5/binary-i386/linuxcnc_2.5.2_i386.deb Put that file on a USB stick and mount it on the machine you want to install it on. I bet you can double-click on the file and Linux will offer to install it for you. I don't think the new linuxcnc package requires you to install or upgrade any other debian packages, but i'm not 100% sure. So it should be as simple as that. <soapbox> This should work, but i think you'll be happier if you put a cheapo USB wifi dongle in your LinuxCNC machine. I bet it wouldn't take much research to find one that'll work with Ubuntu Lucid. </soapbox> -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
