Can you post your current INI file so we can see where you are?

What does it say in the top bar of the LinuxCNC window?

Thank you for following up. As I said in the last mail, I do not understand all I did and all that happened but it worked after I did the edits you suggested, so I let it go.
At the top of the control window it has "axis ngc -AXIS 2.7.14 on gantry. I thought that it would maybe say 2.8 after the updates that happened when I did the procedures. And I keep checking for updates and none are available.
And I will attach the .ini. Everything seems to work except the homing of the Z axis and I remember working on that when I first got the machine working and figure that i will figure that out sooner or later.

Just now an update arrived from the new source. It was new documentation that went to /usr/share/doc/linuxcnc.

I am sending the .ini file again. I worked on the CCN machine again today as I had taken it apart when the one axis stopped working as in my testing it appeared that the stepper driver box had a bad drive since the CNC had been working for years and some lead swapping seemed to confirm that it was a drive. I got a new drive and was working with that to get things working. Today I put the original drive back in and found that the CNC had joints going in the wrong direction .I got the X and Y working okay and the Z is still not working correctly, but this is the latest..

You are still using version 2.7.

Yes, I know. I had the information from another forum member about going to the buildbot and did that and followed the procedures as I understood them from the site he directed me to and have had some updates from there and mentioned in the previous response on here that I knew I was not on 2.8.
I have done other searches for 2.8 installation/update and the closest I have gotten to any firm information is the following response in a forum entry which does not work for me as I obviously do not know how to use the information:

"Get the wheezy iso, install, open synaptics, disable the 2.7 version, enable master, update, install 2.8."

I assume I must add the "master.update.install 2.8" as part of an address and suppose there is other information that precedes like http://deb .... and have tried different things but have not hit upon the correct things. So all I can do is to keep searching and trying and may hopefully get the right answer at some point.
I would be happy to have any suggestions.
