You boot from the USB and everything is installed magically. When it then boots from you HD it starts PathPilot (LinuxCNC). If no 5i25/6i25/7i95 is bound it errors. If the right signals are not supplied to your Mesa card it errors. You will then have setup HAL, etc and try again.

And since I don't have Tormach I'd then have to go through the process of configuring the HAL and INI files? And for a simpler operating like surfacing something held in the vise or clamped to the table there's an approach like the attached photo or must one still write G-Code or use CAM to do this? Perhaps a Path Pilot user can post a screen shot like the one attached that shows how to do this?
