Boxford v190 cnc

You should be able to boot off a USB pen drive but did you make it a bootable drive first? Many (most?) laptops don't have DVD drives these days, so it's a common thing to do.

Installation gets easier each iteration it seems. https://forum.linuxcnc.org/9-install...inuxcnc#184773

Yes the pen drive is bootable. It’s been used to boot into Linux on numerous different PC’s laptops and even a MacBook Pro

I also entered the PC’s boot menu just after the bios

When I burned an dvd with the iso the pc booted up find using the dvd

Hi folks and thanks for the flurry of constructive help.
I have managed to make a boot drive , installed linuxmint as an OEM install wiping all other stuff on the way, and am accessing this forum via LM.
Will clearly get used to it and when I do I will download linux CNC.

May need a socially distanced gathering to set up CNC but could just about manage that with someone sitting on top the Bantam, the washing machine (for overalls ) would be a comfortable perch in the other corner , and if someone doesnt mind sitting on the Khasi then we could just about manage ,

Hobnobs or pasties depending on preference , and tea for man and beast.
Who would need a Forum??

All I need now is to get this "Effing" TCL 125 into running order and I think I am getting close .
Maybe still need some help on the spindle relay to get there

If so you also have linuxcnc.

I must admit that I get mightily perplexed by the jargon these software folks speak .

You mean like this:-
