A tutorial on running the Stepconf wizard to set up a basic stepper system has been created, to help those unfamiliar with a Linux based system - http://www.distinctperspectives.com/emc2installsetup/
Also the tutorial can be downloaded as a PDF and printed off as a reference for going through the steps yourself http://www.distinctperspectives.com/emc2installsetup/setuptutorial.pdf
These pages reflect the basic setup I went through setting up my Sieg X3 conversion(full free prints and instructions available) http://www.distinctperspectives.com/X3/X3_CNC_CONVERSION.PDF
