Never tried to install Mint without an Internet connection, does it usually work ?

Yes it does, always.

Does this mean the the two versions I checked (I mean downloaded and tested) needs to have mesaflash etc. to be added.

Yeahh, just checked and my RT version does not have it.
I would venture a guess, the RTAI version does not either !

Just a thought, but Beagle's previous version was perfect for normal use and everything worked properly.
What would it take to make it a release ? Oh yes, the 2.8, not 2.9! Beagle, are you reading this ?

For normal use by normal Linuxcnc users, there is no need for qtvcp and designers to be installed.
I think the best solution is to have an RT version you already made without designers, just plain Mint with RT and Linuxcnc for public use, and the same with RTAI.
Either way, anyone that needs the designer can use "the other iso" or install as needed.
So having the plain vanila versions for public use is a priority as the existing versions are not supported anymore, hence causing issues for new users.
Again, the ISO created by Beagle ( without qtvcp ) works perfectly and should be made public as is. Another reason is that the parallel port got to be endangered spieces so the RTAI version gets used less and less.
