Perhaps THAT information would be useful ON www.linuxcnc.org :(

I just assumed that because I was following the installation advise ON
www.linuxcnc.org I WAS getting EMC2!

Certainly that explains why the manual does not follow on from what BDI
is actually doing.

I DO now have the correct version of Ubuntu since the current version of
that will not play with EMC2 - something that was not indicated a couple
of weeks ago - and the emc2-ubuntu-livecd.iso which I am about to install ;)

The problem with playing with stuff that is still being developed, the
documentation appears after you look at it :)
