new user question.

I down loaded and burned to CD the UBUNTU EMC2 live cd. I cannot boot off of it because the cd player is a USB add on and will not alowed to boot. I ran the CD and chose to do the install from the menu.

On start up (booting) it gives me the choiceof XP or Ubuntu. I choose UBUNTU. When UBUNTU is running The prompt is (INIT???) I can enter HELP and get a list of commands.

I am lost. What next?

OLD BOB

After we bugged all the linux user we know for help we came back from lunch we booted it up again and it worked.

Hi,

Just downloaded burned and tried out (with sucess) EMC2 Live CD.
Simply Awsome.

Just got a question HOW can I donate the project?
I'm just a young guy, but I really want to help this project to make it better.
And since I'm not a C coder I would donate money.
btw I can make translation to Hungarian (it is partly translated)

Just tried out our small 3-axis CNC (HobbyCNC) (it is use to make with Mach3 and ArtCAM)
And after a few minutes of trying to set it up, it worked fine, COOL!
I miss some fetures, but I hope those will be added.

Same question here, were is the donate button?

One of the many reasons EMC2 is going to become so big. Instead of money they want your time which is better cause everyone has full time jobs and some stuff can be done by others instead of giving money. I have my EMC2 install nailed now. Been running non stop for days with a few server apps running in the backround and this is just an excellent build.

I highly am looking forward to the future with EMC2.
