All,
I been lurking about for a while now. I had Debian 7 and LinuxCnc installed.

However, I had to upgrade some hardware and I need the latest version of LinuxCnc.

So, from what I can tell I need Debian 9.9 and LinuxCnc 2.7.14?

What I can't find if where to get all of this. Everything links back to the Debian 7 Wheezy files - Which have been EOL'ed.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Is there an ISO that has Debian 9.9 /w LinuxCnc installed etc that I can simply download and put on a bootable USB stick to install?

Thanks,
WTB

There is Debian 9 or Stretch version there, the the upgrade how to is
buildbot.linuxcnc.org

Or you can install on Debian 10,
forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...ick-and-easy-install
Or Linux Mint
forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...nd-easy-installation
Both links use Mate desktop, but it should work with any other desktop.

So I went and downloaded:
linuxcnc-stretch-uspace-i386-r13 (1).iso

I updated my Rufus and wrote to USB Stick using both the regular and the DD mode.

I stick it into the computer, power up and it says non-bootable disk.

This is the same stick I used to installed Debian 7. I just wiped it and started over. I also tried a new usb and it failed the same way.

Thoughts?

I have similar problems with my usb install. my machine would not find the usb or the dvd of linuxcnc install. someone mentioned legacy boot option in the bios. I enabled legacy boot and move the usb boot option to the top and it found my usb. This is a newer machine so there must be something different in the boot option for the newer bios. hope this helps
