There are some small config changes needed from 2.5.4 to 2.7.14 and some major config changes needed from 2.7 to 2.8 http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UpdatingTo2.6 http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/getting-started/updating-linuxcnc.html But it is likely that the update manager is suggesting updating from 2.5.4 to 2.5.5 and that should certainly be safe. 2.5.4 is really quite old. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
