LinuxCNC on Debian 10 Buster quick and easy install

Some results of 2.8test4.iso :
-live boot = OK , LinuxCNC runs
-graphical install = OK, does not ask for root password.
Now testing CLI install

CLI install works, does not ask for root.
Tested on 2 PC's.

That's weird. And frankly I don't know what I can do about that, as this is only a slightly-tweaked standard Debian installer.

I am just downloading it now so will try it in the morning and report back

Had such issues multiple times before with Debian, from wheezy and up.
More testing tomorrow, had some people here till late.

I have installed the test ISO on a Vmware VM and also a bare metal machine and it worked fine.

On the bare metal I uninstalled LinuxCNC the changed the repo to the Buildbot then installed LinuxCNC again. All the sims I tried worked including some Qtvcp ones.

The only minor issue I found was that I needed to enter my WiFi details after the first boot as they weren't saved.
