building linuxcnc-dev on ubuntu 16.04 preempt-rt kernel

Hi,
I'm trying to follow the steps to install linuxcnc on my ubuntu 16 but the packets you mentioned in the stepsd aren't exists yet.
I'm trying with linux-4.9.76.tar.gz

Can anybody validate this tutorial? I've been having a ton of trouble with the other ways I've tried. Has anyone had luck with this one in specific? Thanks in advance.

Is here a particular reason that you don't want to use one of the LiveDVD installs? Or is that one of the ways that you have had trouble with?

I've tried writing to a drive from terminal, from rufus/unetbootin, etc. Once it's been loaded with a bootable iso it disappears from the boot menu. No matter which way I've done it. The one time it didn't disappear, setting it did nothing anyway. Which method are you specifically referring to?

make -j4 is taking a lifetime.

it will if you dont have 4 cores...
