Why cant the software guys speak english too?

Or better still produce a bootable disc which does the equivalent of a windows disc. Lets face it we want to make our machines work.
We dont want to be software gurus.
Hi John
I would be happy to burn you a dvd with the mint Linux and linuxcnc 2.8.0
I have used this very dvd today to set the HP of that arrives this week
Instal could not be simpler. Power on the pc. Open the dvd tray and pop in the dvd disk
Power off and then back on and press f9 and f10 repeatedly
You will get a boot selection screen. Select disk and wait a few seconds
Mint will start to boot up from the dvd

Once into the mint desktop there is disk icon on the desktop that you click to install mint and linuxcnc onto the desktop

Cheers. Paul
