Complete HOW-TO Linux Mint 18.1 32/64 RTAI or PREEMPT with RIP install or deb

So if I understand you (please consider I'm french..), I can go with linuxCNC~pre1...deb ?

Oui, vous pouvez.

Is that right for "Yes you can" ?
Being an Aussie I can be hard to understand....even to those that speak English.

I installed linuxcnc and everything seems to be ok. Now I'm going to try it. Thank you Ozzyrob !!
I'll stay on this forum where I have a lot to learn

Our messages cross..
Yes, "Oui vous pouvez" is right for "Yes you can", but in french, we always follow "Oui vous pouvez" with what you can :
"Oui vous pouvez le faire" -> "Yes you can do it" - nothing to guess under this it
And of course : Merci beaucoup !!
Are you in Australia ?

Yes.......preparing for another hot summer. Which usually means one half of the country has bushfires and the other half has flooding.

Yes this forum is very good, very many knowledgeable people all willing to help

Hey! new norwegian member here, im trying to configure linuxcnc for my emcoturn 140 lathe, and i went with attempting your POST 3 install and im having some issues.

when i boot up linuxcnc in the rip environment it starts up the linuxcnc configurator selector. After selecting a preference in this example i selected lathe, i am met with this error message.

i am running Linux mint 18.2 and im in the RTAI 64 bit kernel.

i am thankful for any help .

i had another look at the link and i found a way. i had trouble finding the etc/ config file but just a typing error.
Thanks anyways !

Getting through post two, almost done. Thank you for the due diligence and awesome explanations.

You are very welcome!

I have not had time to check on this thread in awhile. I'm in the middle of a home remodel. So If anyone needs help; please understand I might be slow in the response's but I will get back to you!
