But it also doesn't need a wrapper to let it use what little gfx it uses. As a #1 user, you have to run synaptic-pkexec, which then asks for your pw and works on your x profile. Sudo synaptic can't open a screen on your session of x. Both seem to have the full power of apt-get at hand though. > And then get rid of the stuff you don't like (xfce ...) :-) > > Nik Thanks Nik. What sort of a machine are you driving? The one in question is a G0704 Grizzly mill, fleabay ball screw kit & fleabay motor/psu's kit. 5i25 interface. Needs more voltage on the Z as it can only do about 42 IPM. Nema 34 motor only on Z, triple stack nema 23's on x/y, can do 70 ipm. Configured for an A rotary table, but the table and motor kit hasn't been obtained yet. I have a smaller 4" table (no center bore either) with a motor on it for the toy mill that I could, with a bit of tom-foolery, rig if I need one desperately. But its such a backlash ridden POS that I've cut a groove in the mating face, drawn the bolt up fairly tight, and I hit that groove with about 90 psi for air lube when I want to move it at any speed at all. Even thats not enough to really control the backlash if the cut is more than 2 thou per pass. I made some beautiful sprockets for #25 chain, teeth about 4 thou too wide to enter the chain, thanks to that backlash. Had to file then narrower. But it was for a bandsaw fence drive, not a Cathedral. It works, for sharpening tools etc. :) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
