Not all that familiar with linux kernels etc? But
after posting and from the input I'm not realizing there is a difference.

There is an updated version for Ubuntu 8.04 with EMC2 kernel that I am now
downloading, 10.04.3 LTS if that makes any sense. I'm hoping that as Leslie
posted that this latest version will have taken that matter into consideration?

Essentially Art, you have discovered what I left out. I want to install the
Ubuntu with the EMC2 on one of the hard drives to see if I can get my cnc that
uses EMC2 to power the machine. Hardy Heron is fine, except you can't power it
down. Not a big deal but I would consider it a basic requirement.

The Windows XP, I'm hoping that maybe eventually I can download Mach 3 which is
windows oriented for cnc machines that use Mach 3 with windows. If that makes
sense?? First cnc adventure as a newby & linux beginner, so I have a long way to
go.

Appreciate all the help with this matter that was posted. If the update does not
have error taken care of ........
