That isn't a stupid question at all.  It is a CD on which Paul Corner has
placed all of the Linux, Real Time Linux, and the EMC (enhanced machine
controller).  It is called the Brain Dead Install, hence BDI.

With this cd and a reasonable standard pentium, cyrix, or K6 computer, you
can control machines.  All kinds of machines from common mills and lathes
to robot arms and hexapods.  Below is my standard line for inquires.

The disks that I have on hand are the original BDI-2.04.  There have been a
couple of minor fixes to the install procedure.  The current release is
2.09 but I won't have disks for a couple of weeks.

You can download and burn a cd from http://www.yty.net/cnc/ the link is
near the bottom of the page and it is a large file ~ 450 m.

I'd be happy to send what I have.  You can remit $10.00 in the return
envelope in the cd mailer.  All I need is your postal address and I can get
that out tomorrow.

Thanks for your interest in the BDI.
