This Old Gezzer has only recently tried to become familiar with Linux BDI & make Installation on a CNC System. Hope I got the picture right? Installation is on an OS free system no other systems on HD. Using Linux BDI & EMC 4.18 to install. Piece of cake - Right?
First, I would strongly recommend using a later build than 4.18, the latest is 4.38 which contains a few bug fixes to EMC along with a large number of updated packages. Using the latest BDI-4 will make your life much easier should you wish to install new packages from Debian and/or upgrade EMC when a new version is released. It is also possible for Linux to be installed on a dual boot machine - At one point, I had a total of five flavours to boot from... The BDI-4 installer makes it possible to install Linux on a spare partition, or even a separate hard drive. Many people prefer to stick to a "one or other" either by using removable HD caddies, or a dedicated computer.
