Linux Mint ISO with RTAI and RT

Hmmmm Not completely happy with RTAI, just can't seem to get designer to work for qtvcp. If I build the packages myself from git designer is ok, but running a sim config causes the machine to freeze.

I wish Andy would chime in.....maybe he would have an answer as we need a real guru.

And regarding installing without a internet connection.
Booted and installed on VBox with the VBox LAN cable unplugged, install went smoothly. Will try on real hardware over the weekend, work has decided to give me a shift for Friday, thereby interrupting my iso creating.

For normal use by normal Linuxcnc users, there is no need for qtvcp and designers to be installed.
I think the best solution is to have an RT version you already made without designers, just plain Mint with RT and Linuxcnc for public use, and the same with RTAI.
Either way, anyone that needs the designer can use "the other iso" or install as needed.
So having the plain vanila versions for public use is a priority as the existing versions are not supported anymore, hence causing issues for new users.
Again, the ISO created by Beagle ( without qtvcp ) works perfectly and should be made public as is. Another reason is that the parallel port got to be endangered spieces so the RTAI version gets used less and less.
