A few ideas ( I can't sleep and few ideas popped up)
Sounds like we need to get ChrisM on the job again to get approval for mint to host a Linuxcnc meta package in their repo (or include ours)! That really would be a good outcome.

I don't understand meta packages.
Happy to receive snail mail contributions. Give me a couple of weeks as I have revised my freight arrangements today so when that goes live, I'll have overnight rates Australia wide but I'm not sure if that will apply to incoming freight or just outgoing.

That's really unfair aren't you guys supposed to be 20 years behind NSW in the winter and 20 years and 1 hour in the summer ? :laugh:
Stolen from askubuntu (cos I'm lazy)
Metapackages are a link to existing package or packages. So they are essentially a script that installs other packages.They keep the packages as dependencies
Eg: the package ubuntu-desktop installs all the packages needed for the Default UI for ubuntu. But uninstalling the same doesen't uninstall its dependencies
Maybe not totally techincally corerct but more or less the jist

Someone from windows world trying to get linuxcnc up and running.
This leads me to an ISO. Complete usable cnc package.
I would install:
rt kernel
linuxcnc
build essentials
GLADE editor 3.8.6
Mesaflash
I wouldn't uninstall anything unless I had to.
This is also aprox. what we asked permission for.
My 2 cents

Above is the script I used in remastering, openssh-server, midnight commander, geany & gftp are basically what I add when I do an install anyways. They are pulled from the official repos.
The linuxcnc packages & glade are what I put on google drive, the kernel is the same on as on google drive, but I had to patch it with aufs to work with the remastered live cd. (This has not been up loaded yet).
The mesaflash utilities are from the linuxcnc repos.
No build-essential, but the linuxcnc-dev package seems to pull in everything, I did a quick sudo apt-get install build-essential of the live iso and all that was installed was the build-essential pkg and nothing else. Prior to that I did a quick halcompile --install on a simple component and all went well.
If it wasn't removed or installed in the above script it wasn't removed or added (apart from the required deps).

I will give that a try whenever i have some time to spare. I assume it is for Mint 18.n.
@rodw
that is the preempt rt kernel, and uspace version of Linuxcnc. The other version has RTAI in it's name.

This is the link to my google drive:
drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EJFzxRqd...5gseRPXpWnpd-n0PoWuA
As I said the kernel on the google drive doesn't have aufs required for respinning a live cd, but will work on an already installed & running Mint-18.3 installation. Just only change the kernel related package names to suit eg:
linux-headers-4.11.12-rt16_4.11.12-rt16-2_amd64.deb
becomes
linux-headers-4.11.12-rt16_4.11.12-rt16-1_amd64.deb
and so forth.
