I've downloaded using these instructions http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/getting-started/getting-linuxcnc.html
and retrieved the appropriate version from here. http://www.linuxcnc.org/iso/ Specifically linuxcnc-2.7.14-wheezy.iso The advantage of the live system is you can try it on your hardware before you install to the hard drive. I'm running it on a dual boot PC where I have WIN-XP and LinuxCNC. In the basic form I have both working from a single parallel port. I can expand with the MESA 7i92H or the USB SmoothStepper coupled to my PMDX-126 BoB. Then when you are ready, just reboot the CD and choose install. Only one DVD is needed.
