Fehlemann Picomax 100 Retrofit

Like promises in my shop update thread I will retrofit my Fehlmann Picomax 100.
The Mesa board and power supplies are on their way also the din rail holders are printing.
I have an all in one pc with an i5 2.7 ghz cpu lying around and wanted to give it a try.
For some reason I can't get the buster ISO to work, when I try the live system I get an unpack error and the install won't start. I just get a lack screen.
Weezy I can run the install but when I start the keyboard, touch and mouse don't work.
I am kind of stuck here. anyone an Idea here?

Ok none of the Debian 10 installers worked. So I gave mint a try and it’s running. Next step installing linuxcnc and qtpyvcp

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Still don't know why the buster images, failed.
But what I learned over the last retrofits, is:
one it works, don't touch it!

yes!! this iso is installing right now...
good it's flatmate time, I downloaded and tried to install 8 different linux iso images, four were successful, but I think I will move on with the image above.

Some stupid question my computer has two ethernet cards one intel. which one is better for the mesa board?
Ok maybe it is a bit to early to thin about it, first I should have a look at the latencies

Thanks,

If anyone uses
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/getting-start...th_preempt_rt_kernel
to install linuxcnc, use another key server:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://pgpkeys.eu --recv-key 3CB9FD148F374FEF
Worked for me linuxcnc is installing, an I am preparing for latency tests
