[aprssig] APRS and the OLPC

[Paul Kronenwetter]

All,

  I've updated the laptop.org Wiki page with locations to download the 
packages I'm using on the XO.  I had a bit of a delay because I tried to 
update to one of the Joyride builds and it toasted the data on my SD 
card.  I lost all my work.  So, with that out of the way, here are the 
links:

http://n2kiq.dyndns.org.nyud.net/xoaprs/
http://n2kiq.dyndns.org/xoaprs/

If you can, please use the Coral network to get a faster download speed.

I'm also looking for help getting Thomas Saylor's soundmodem package to 
work with Alsa and a 2.6 kernel.  It builds and runs fine until it goes 
to actually do something with the sound card.  This problem isn't 
specific to the XO, it's just keeping me from using it and another 
system the way I want to.

Thanks all & 73!
-Paul
