Linux Mint ISO with RTAI and RT

Yeah I noticed that running sudo apt-get update returned a lot of errors.

I think we should wait for tommy to wake up ,I don't know why everyone isn't awake when us Aussies are, and get him to look into it. I'm don't want to step on his toes or send you or others in the wrong direction that have seen this issue.

The lack of ubiquity seems to be an issue when remastering ubuntu based install dvds.

To be perfectly honest I'm not entirely sure if other bits (gparted I think maybe one) needs including.

Hi Beagle,

Thank you for your comments. I agree, let the rest of the world wake up while we finish up work and wait their replies.

I must say Tommy has put a lot of effort in and it looks like it's all worthwhile, if these little glitches are sorted out then it will be a great package to run a plasma cutter (or any other machine).

Cheers, Peter & Tim

No luck with ubiquity.....crashes after copying files

Maybe this might be a better util to remaster ?

Did a quick run thru, installed mc, gftp & geany during the customisation process.
Booted the created iso installed Mint (ubiquity is still there) and all went well.

The only issue I had was the resolv.conf file in the chroot environment, that was soon sorted.

OK it's 1:25am and I think I should go to bed, The Butter Dog (The Beagle) is staring at me telling me it's bedtime...hopefully work doesn't call me in this morning

I'll give it a shot with the Linuxcnc bits later........

This link gives some info about resolv.conf (pretty sure you can work it out from here)

Good job the plasma machine didn't fall on top of you otherwise the ISO will never get finished.

Ouch Tommy, I hope you are alright !

Again thank you all for the efforts you put in, for us non-Linux wizards it will be difficult to get it up and running. We are going to make some chips in the machine shop and wait patiently until we have some directions on how to install the Linux Mint/LinuxCNC package. We are pretty keen to get it up and running now that we had a taste of the GUI !

Cheers, Peter & Tim

Tommy,
I've run thru using cubic and have generated a successful iso (only tested in virtual box).
Included a RT only kernel and most recent 2.9 linuxcnc.
The only issue i had was with booting, entropy issue in VBox, but holding down shift key shorts that.
Went thru the whole install procedure, again in VBox, all went well. Ran a sim of axis and it all seems to be a ok.

This is helpful in sorting out booting the iso
