Custom Mint-19.2 with Linuxcnc

No probs, after reading tommy’s whole thread it does look a little confusing.
There is actually 2 rtai versions one with MATE desktop and one with XFCE desktop. Apart from the desktops they are pretty much the same.
Any issues just give a yell on this thread.

Hmmm why are you trying to compile Linuxcnc on an install with Linuxcnc included ???
That RTAI version also has dev installed.

I think he got a little confused, it can happen at times.

On another note I have created a new image of Mint & RT that should boot from UEFI without having to change to a so called "Legacy mode". tested on VBox with UEFI enabled in a virtual machine.
Silly me was unaware that Cubic required the installation of syslinux & isolinux to create UEFI images.
Also have moved the readme to the desktop so hopefully it may get read more often. Just waiting from reply from another member about a message regarding "mismatched versions of a particular component". In this thread: forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...ion-usb-not-bootable
No info has been given as where the message appears.

One thing to note is that when the image is created with UEFI support the image can be mounted from within caja, the non UEFI images wont mount unless manually loop mounted.

Unlike other images I posted this has been created using a virgin install of Mint 19.2 on real hardware.
To apply updates to fresh install open a terminal and use the following, this should not upgrade the kernel.
