As recently discussed, the way to go is to get an inexpensive wireless to ethernet bridge and use cabled internet. True, but you *can* find USB Wifi dongles that work with it. I finally went and dug up the one I've used, it's labeled D-Link DWL-G122, Hardware version B1. It's not fast for a wifi interface, but it's faster than sneakernet, and it works well with the LinuxCNC 2.5 LiveCD. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

Once this thing is working, I'm putting a sign on it saying DO NOT ALTER OR UPDATE THE SOFTWARE ON THIS SYSTEM UNDER PAIN OF DEATH. Next time you forget your password, boot an Ubuntu install disk (dunno if you can do this with the liveCD, but maybe you can mount the machine's / partition) and bring up the boot in the repair mode. Mount the / partition and edit the /etc/shadow file. You'll probably have to use vi, since there is no windowing program running. Delete all the characters between the first and second colon on the account you've forgotten. Save file and reboot to normal mode. The account you have forgotten the password for will now no longer have a password. You can set your password using the passwd command once you log in. I've had to do that over the years with Solaris systems where the previous admins had either forgotten the root password, or in a bit of a huff when they left didn't change it. Works on Ubuntu too.

my interpretation was that he wanted to update without using the internet on the target computer, but I could be wrong. Should be able to d/l some packages and move them onto the usb drive, correct?

Here are the instructions for that: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Creating_a_bootable_Ubuntu_USB_flash_drive Thanks Eric, upon rereading i think you're right and i'm wrong. If Gregg's goal is to install LinuxCNC from the 2.5 LiveCD onto a machine that isn't connected to the internet, and then upgrade LinuxCNC to the latest version, then do this: Download the latest release deb from here: http://linuxcnc.org/dists/lucid/linuxcnc2.5/binary-i386/linuxcnc_2.5.2_i386.deb Put that file on a USB stick and mount it on the machine you want to install it on. I bet you can double-click on the file and Linux will offer to install it for you. I don't think the new linuxcnc package requires you to install or upgrade any other debian packages, but i'm not 100% sure. So it should be as simple as that. soapbox This should work, but i think you'll be happier if you put a cheapo USB wifi dongle in your LinuxCNC machine.
