-  *Select your timezone
-  *In the //Who are you?// screen, use **mycnc** as the username to access the presets that are applied during the installation. These presets include the **mycnc** user in groups such as dialout (access to scanners), sudo (security privileges of superuser), and sambashare (SMB/CIFS networking protocol for Windows). NOTE: These presets are strongly recommended for novice users.
-  *Select the **Log in automatically** option

-The installation of Ubuntu MATE will begin momentarily.
-===Setting up the myCNC control board===
-  * Connect 24V DC power supply to myCNC control board
-    * Here are power-up examples for ET6, ET7, ET10 control boards
-  * Connect myCNC Ethernet controller with Network cable directly to Host computer or to Network Router. If use Odroid-C2 (Raspberry-Pi3) computers as a Host, Network cable is a short 0.5ft cable between Odroid & Controller {{mycnc:et6-odroid-network-cable.jpg}}
-  * Setup Network addresses for Host computer and myCNC Ethernet controller. Addresses of Controller and Host should be in same local network. For Example - <code>Controller Address: 192.168.0.78
-Host Address: 192.168.0.100</code> or <code>Controller Address: 192.168.5.10
-Host Address: 192.168.5.11</code> Look [[mycnc:change_ip_address_of_mycnc_control_board|here]] if need to change IP address of controller board
-  * Goto MyCNC software, Cfg Settings, Network Tab and
-    * Set actual Controller IP address to "Controller IP Address" to tell the software where it can find myCNC Controller,
-    * Set "Network Protocol" to "UDP",
-    * press "Save" button on the top-right of myCNC screen.
-    * Changes should be applied on the fly and **UDP message counter** should start counting which means communication between Controller & Host works correct. {{mycnc::mycnc-quickstart-network-settings-01.png}}
-  * Connect Pulse-Dir signals from servo or stepper driver to myCNC control board {{hardware:et6-stepper-driver-connection-001.png}}
-  * Check what minimal pulse width your drivers accept and set pulse width of myCNC control board accordingly (equal or more) in MyCNC software -> Cfg Settings -> Hardware Tab -> Common Hardware Settings {{mycnc:mycnc-common-hardware-settings-pulse-width-001.png}} MyCNC-ET6, myCNC-ET7 controllers support separate pulse width settings for the first 4 channels (#0, #1, #2, #3) and the rest 2 (#4, #5). This option can be convenient if use high performance servo drivers with low psed stepper drivers (for example high speed servos for X, Y, Z axes and low speed stepper for rotational A axis). myCNC-ET10 controller use only the first pulse width selector for all motor outputs.
