Would it be feasible to create an AppImage of the sim Axis gui?
it would be a great thing to have on my Stretch livecd for demonstrations instead of having to install the whole shooting match.
I know a sim version has been asked for in the past and was created for puppylinux some years ago, I seem to remember having a copy of it.
Just a thought as I am seeing and using many AppImages lately. They are not hard to create with all the tools available these days.
I teach a few groups and it's easy to take a pile of 4G sd cards with livecd's on them.
From a menu, they can use librecad, Qcad, libreoffice, Inkscape, Gimp, Krita, Gravit, Blender, Firefox, Fontforge, Sli3r, Freecad and many more all from AppImages.
It is fantastic to see what people do with them and display their work in Linuxcnc simulation, anything they want to keep they save to their own external media and take it home with them.
