Upgraded to 2.7.13 -- W T F --

Man your sure have let ALL the gremlins in at once it would seem.

Something could have gone a bit wrong with the install....I dunno I'm kinda just guessing.

From my side of the world this was the better option price wise. Plus I do have the use of the on board Parallel port if required.

Does the compiling have to be done in the actual PC?

Not really but both PC's, the build machine and the machine that will run Linuxcnc, would have to have the same version of mint installed and software packages would have to match, ie: both updated to the same packages.

I actually downloaded Mint 18.3 the other day and I was going to install it a virtual machine and nut out the build and install of Linuxcnc for you. Can still give that a try if you'd like.

I'm quite happy to do all I can to help out.

Well if you would do that for me I would be most grateful, Mint did perform** well only downside was not getting anywhere with LCNC.

** isolcpus applied as I recall

Ok my friend I shall get on to it tomorrow, it's getting on for bedtime Down Under .

Actually I'll install it on the setup I'm going to use for my mill and just hook up a spare drive. Then I can run some tests and see where we stand.

First pass of memtest86+ shows no errors
