[aprssig] APRS Digi "Live" CD?

[Dave Baxter]

Hi..

I looked at Knoppix and Hamshack Hack etc, on two ocasions.  The second
time was a big improvement on the first, but overall  v e r y  s l o w
to boot, even on a 1.8 GHz machine with stacks of memory, and a 52X CD
rom drive, not the sort of thing you can stick on a rack shelf on a
remote site, but I've not ditched it as there is other stuff on there of
interest, if I can get it to run OK...  I've never got Xastir to run on
that, despite it suposedly being "setup bar the callsigns and maps".

Cheers.

	Dave 'WBX.
