I needed a quick take away working bootable system so compiled from fresh rather than try copying my machine install which by now is about 25 gig.
I did a net install, first one that came up from a google rt search. That installed to sd card fine and gave command prompt.
From there I wanted to keep it as light as possible as I only had a 4gig card. I then loaded lxde-core, lxtask, lxrandr, synaptic, gdebi and leafpad. Add my repo list to /etc/apt/sources.list. Edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to autologin "user".
Reboot to gui, install Google chrome with gdebi from google .deb, I now have browser (we all need to browse don't we?).
Run apt update and install linuxcnc from buildbot through synaptic, and anything else you may want to add but this was enough for me on this occasion.
To save space and keep it quick I deleted synaptic, gdebi, screensaver and alsa sound, I don't reckon it saved much so will leave them in on next run.
Fired it up on the cnc pc and put my configs in to test, wonderful it all works well, how long for I am not sure, It is probably very buggy but I haven't come across any issues yet.
I did have to run apt autoremove. update-grub, update-initramfs -u, before it would successfully bootcdwrite but it did it with no hiccups once that was done.
Hope this helps and gives you food for thought, good luck, have a lot of fun.
Here is my sources.list to save you looking at where to go.
