I just came across another thing: The html documentation is not included. I know, it's missing on any live CD/DVD, but the PDF is a pin to use. Any chance to include this?

The latest version has a CNC menu item with:
  • Documentation
  • LinuxCNC
  • PncConf
  • StepConf

    • Note that documentation is the online documentation, so it will open FireFox and open the LinuxCNC documentation page.

    Ok, I just tested it. The documentation is not quite what I meant: When you build linuxcnc with "configure --enable-build-documentation=html", then the HTML documentation will be available locally, so need for a network connection just to look up the docs. In my case this would be a real winner :)

    Yeah, I am usually in too much of a rush to wait for it to build the documentation except when I make major doc changes.

    Doc building is quite fast when you only build the HTML docs :)

    Not as fast as if you don't build them...

    You can also use wget to download the docs as a webpage (look it up) and browse them locally.

    I know, but maybe I did not make myself clear: for newcommers to LinuxCNC, the PDF documentation is nice but quite useless. I know the PDFs have been on the ISOs since about the beginning of time. But maybe - for the sake of ease to use - would it be possible to include the HTML docs, too?

    I don't think they are useless but like you I don't particularly like them and I don't use them myself.

    If I get some time this week I will have a look. My problem is I only have about 300K of Google Drive left so it may be restricted to a couple of ISOs.
