(Installs Buster and a buildbot version of LinuxCNC 2.
This is 99% of what the official 2.8 release will be, so feedback appreciated.

Note that the QTVCP configs need extra dependencies, this will be fixed in the final release.

It is important _not_ to specify a root password in the Debian installer as this disables sudo for all users.

LinuxCNC relies on setuid, so needs sudo.

This is mentioned briefly in the Buster install notes:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/getting-start...th_preempt_rt_kernel

I installed Buster on two computers, never got asked to set a root password, but Wheezy and Stretch did ask for it so i just left it blank and it always worked.
I did use the installer from the desktop of the Live version of Buster.

The LinuxCNC ISO will be set up to not ask (it is pre-seeded to blank in the config)
