[OZAPRS] Calling Ray VK2TV

[Mike]

Thanks Ray, 
No Linux installed at this stage. The box arrived today and I'm still
looking at which  'flavour'  to install. 
Regards, 
Mike.

Hi Mike,
 
I did get your previous but my feet aren't even close to the ground at
The moment and many things are being pushed back a bit, sorry.
 
I have just one problem with that document, I lost it. To be more
Precise I had an intrusion that deleted all My Documents and Application
Data, and corrupted the BIOS. This was about 6 weeks ago. I will again
Put the steps down in writing but right now I don't know when that will be.
 
My priorities at the moment are hazard reduction for the fire season and
A mountain of new installation work at the radio station.
 
If you're after a painless transition and the computer has Linux
Installed, I'd just install xastir from a package (deb, rpm, or
Whatever). You'll probably end up 1 or 2 versions behind bleeding edge
Stuff but that won't limit functionality. You'll need kernel ax25 for
Running radio ports but, again, this can be installed from packages -
Libax25, libax25-dev, ax25-apps & ax25-tools. Any modern Linux
Installation will have a late(ish) 2.6 kernel so no real need to compile
If you don't have to.
 
Bernard, f6bvp, has a mini-howto primarily aimed at fpac but the
Configuration stuff is a good starting place for any kernel ax25
Installation. Just ignore all the content about compiling.

I can certainly help out with kernel ax25 configuration.
 
Cheers ... Ray
