But what's in the debian repo is dated a decade ago! Surely that isn't what Sam is using for that.
So I have begun an update to my computer hardware, based on finding 4 identical old Dells with i5 processors, 4Gigs of dram with a blank hd I'll probably replace with a 240G SSD, and install our latest. All inspired by losing the video on one of my D525MW mobo's yesterday. So until they arrive, my 6040 is out of business. Fortunately, the linuxcnc directory was copied to this machine so my work is not lost. FWIW, and before the video output died, the latest iso, dd'd to a usb gizmo, installed just fine and worked. Once they arrive and I've restore it to functional, I have downloaded the opencv-4.5.1-tar.gz and will probably pester you kind people for build instruction help. I've already looked at the docs but build instructions are not very well filled out. Thanks all.
