The long version : it is very stable, polished to perfection, and you can intentionaly break anything and still be able to fix it easily!
I also like Debian and use it quite offten, especially on big machines.

Thank you for the posted files.
Maybe you have such a version ISO:
Mint 19.2 with Linuxcnc 2.7.(15) for the RTAI ?
(so that old configurations work without editing)

You can try removing 2.8 and linuxcnc-dev and installing 2.7 from buildbot, that might work altbough might need some dependencies also as i recal some of them got removed from 2.8.

If i am not mistaken, i have downloaded and tested your version, but it would end up at the BusyBox. Unfortunately i had no time to find out why.How come when I suggested this and actually did this 12 months ago it was a BAD THING ?

I can’t answer that one, I know I tested it in Virtualbox and real hardware before throwing it into the wild.
Unfortunately I deleted all the copies on my google drive and locally.

Beagle, no worries, this will also be obsolete in about 6 to 12 months. On to new loses ....hm.. victories ! 
Thank you for your time and effort, and some nice reading along the way.

Hi gentlemen,
Previously we have been trying to install Linuxmint with LinuxCNC but couldn't get it to work, which was a bit frustrating. We are building a plasma cutter for our workshop and we would love to use PlasmaC on it, that would be a great improvement on the old LinuxCNC driven machine we have now. (Mind you, we have used that old setup for 10 years without any major glitches !)
Now I have managed to create a USB stick with this installation and it works and looks great ! But I have a question : at startup from the USB stick it says "Install Linux Mint with LinuxCNC" or something, and when I click that the computer seems to start up and run from the USB stick, and when I shut down the computer to check if the new setup is installed it starts an older version of Linux Mint (which I installed last week).
How can I get the USB stick installation to install on the hard drive of the computer ? We are not Linux computer wizards, but now we have a bootable USB stick with everything we need and just want to install it on the hard drive. Can any of you help us with that, it will be much appreciated !
Cheers, Peter and Tim

hmmm it would appear the installer (ubiquity-frontend-gtk) hasn't been included,
apart from that everything else appears ok.

I have looked for "ubiquity" to install but that didn't work for me. Any ideas and/or suggestions are welcome !
