Keith,
install 2.8 from the iso from a usb stick.
once it boots, you change the repository settings for linuxcnc to buildbot.
Code:
deb http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ buster master-rtpreempt
deb-src http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ buster master-rtpreempt
then just run
Code:
sudo apt-get update
and then
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
from the terminal and it will upgrade / update to master.
given you are going to run Mesa hardware you will need to change the network using
Code:
apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome
and then run
Code:
apt-get remove wicd wicd-gtk
I normally restart at this point (although it's probably not required)
then run
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get autoremove
as it will clear out some of the related linked files / programmes that were required by wicd
(I'll come back later, got to go do something, to finish off how I have done my setup as I've done it so many times that I just do it automatically now)
I then setup the network address for the Mesa cards
get rid of the logon screen prompt
add qtvcp via script
add NativeCAM via script
