Linux Mint ISO with RTAI and RT

Well it happened! I fell off the truck !
Sadly i have to inform you all that there is no video of the incident, so you have nothing to laugh at.
Luckily, minor scratches and injured ego, for a while...
I will try to check things when i get home and report findings, it seems that the release name has changed during iso creation, hence the update errors.
More error hunting ensues...

Good job the plasma machine didn't fall on top of you otherwise the ISO will never get finished. :evil:

Ouch Tommy, I hope you are alright !

Again thank you all for the efforts you put in, for us non-Linux wizards it will be difficult to get it up and running. We are going to make some chips in the machine shop and wait patiently until we have some directions on how to install the Linux Mint/LinuxCNC package. We are pretty keen to get it up and running now that we had a taste of the GUI !

Cheers, Peter & Tim

Tommy,
I've run thru using cubic and have generated a successful iso (only tested in virtual box).
Included a RT only kernel and most recent 2.9 linuxcnc.
The only issue i had was with booting, entropy issue in VBox, but holding down shift key shorts that.
Went thru the whole install procedure, again in VBox, all went well. Ran a sim of axis and it all seems to be a ok.

This is helpful in sorting out booting the iso

I am good, no limbs have fallen off, yet !
A momentary lapse of concentration resulted in a sideways dive of 1.1M ( nearly 4 feet for the imperials out there ).
@Beagle,
The ISO's boot perfectly as i did test them on a lot of USB's and PC's. There are a lot of undocumented issues while creating an ISO, mostly due to missing live-boot and some other stuff, but all are easily fixable.
In this case the RT version ended up with a changed release name so updates are not working.
I am really sorry for not having time to look into it, been hectic last few days.
As soon as i get my mints on the main PC i will have a look and report back.
Stay tunned....

Found a fix for the update/upgrade/install from USB issues, added to original post all the relevant info, checked ad double checked on one of my laptops, it works.
Will do more testing on more hardware when i get a chance.
Regards and thank you all.
Tom.
