Changes for Bookworm as per 2.9 Getting Linuxcnc Docs

• Changed to live build for installer: --debian-installer live (installer was not installing LinuxCNC).

• Use the repositories at: http://buildbot2.highlab.com/

• Replaced buggy nmtray with network-manager.

• Changed README.md to use su for lb build.

• Added ethercat repository. To install: sudo apt update then sudo apt install ethercat-master libethercat-dev. Licencing requirements from the Ethercat Technology Group should be complied with.

• Added QTPYVCP repository. To install: sudo apt update then sudo apt install python3-qtpyvcp

• Added Probe Basic repository. To install: sudo apt update followed by sudo apt install python3-probe-basic

• NOTE: External repositories provided as a convenience to users if they wish to use companion products. No software is installed by this installer.

• NOTE: ipv6.disable=1 appended to isolinux kernel command line so installation does not stall during network config at sites with no DHCPv6 server.
