[Tlf-devel] morphix cdrom problems

[Peter Barrett]

Hi from Perth W.A.

 

Great idea guys, a live CD full of linux ham stuff!

 

I had the idea of building a disk like this and trying to get Australian Amateur Radio magazine to put out an issue with the CD stuck to the front and an article inside on how to use it, you know, like the PC mags do.

 

Yours is on the similar track.

The problems I have had are these:

There are no AX25 drivers. The 2.4.21-xls kernel was compiled without them. This makes ax25-tools, libax25, ax25-apps etc pretty much useless, so most newbies would be lost.

Most hams dont do much DXpeditioning, but they love things like oregano, geda, eagle, predict and sattrack.

 

It would appear to be reasonably straightforward to produce such a cd, with everything a ham is likely to go for.

I have tried to follow the recipes in the Morphix page but still not sure....

Perhaps you could give me a few pointers...

 

cheers
