DO NOT SELECT OEM INSTALL

ALLOW IT TO BOOT INTO THE DEFAULT CHOICE AS SHOWN IN MY PREVIOUS POST, THE HIGHLIGHTED ONE

The default selection will work.
OEM install is for Manufacturers of systems and not for a "normal user" install.

I wonder in the OEM item should be removed to prevent this from happening.

So the default mode will install LCNC on the HDD or go with the live version running from the bootable USB ?

The default selection will boot the live desktop and there is an icon on the desktop to install.
You can use the live desktop to test the latency of a pc run a few sims without installing.

Unless you know what you are doing the best option, on a clean HDD, is to let the installer create the partitions.

If you are still unsure about the install process you can use google to look for howtos on installing Linux Mint as the installer is unmodified. Actually apart from the kernel, linuxcnc, the desktop items pointing to the readme, the forums, github and to install the dev packages (only if you want to rebuild linuxcnc) and the addition of gFTP, geany and midnight commander it is a standard Mint 19.2 ISO.

That's what i figured out, i lunched the install from the desktop and let all run by default

Yay !!

It works, in the bios and NOT in the BOOT menu but in the Password management there is a BOOT SECURITY manager.......Disabled and now it's running,

Glad you got it working.

Tnx to all you !


So now i got the 7i96 to reply from the PING off my PC
Trying to run the sim like you did on your video to see hox it reacts, and of course i'm lost

Sim running ok

i guess now i need to do the 7i96 configuration, install plasmaC

found this video, and for a noob like me it's gold !

So finally got all of it working
