Tis looking easy. lsb_release -ic debian stretch uname -r 4.9.0-8-rt-amd64
So this has been downloaded and is now upgrading deb http://linuxcnc.org stretch base 2.8-rtpreempt Just to be safe I'm also copying the /home folder to a USB drive. Never did install samba like I did for the PI4LINUXCNC so I can access it from the network. Thanks Andy. Hopefully no other questions.
