I think the easiest thing to do is to install LinuxCNC from the LiveCD, then look in the sample configs for univstep. You should be able to boot that with no drives attached, and it should work.
You can then edit that config into a lathe config:
www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/ini_config.html
You need to change
[TRAJ]COORDINATES = XZ
[DISPLAY]LATHE = 1
