<br>Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2007 17:40:10 +0100<br><br>I have a Mandrake 9.something PC here. Like you, I find it very frustrating<br>to use. The only thing useful I've done with it, is use it for running an<br>EchoLink Proxy. And even that has to be loaded manually each time.
<br>Something strange about Java app's, you can't "launch" them at start-up<br>automatically. OK, so the usual "Office" type stuff runs OK, as does web<br>browsing and email etc.<br><br>Updates? Forget it, none available unless you scrub it, and install a
<br>"clean" copy of Mandriva or some other version of Linux. (I can't be<br>bothered personally with all that again)<br><br>Knoppix. Have that (Harve's hamshack hack) It's very fussy about screen<br>
hardware I find. And takes an age to boot, even on a multi GHZ machine with<br>100's of MB of ram..<br><br>Xastir on Knoppix, I did get it to load once, but when I tried customising<br>it (My callsign etc) it kept crashing. Virtually no maps for anything
<br>outside the US available in a usable form either. (No flame wars please,<br>try it, they don't work!)<br><br>About the best "Live" Linux CD I've found, is the "Puppy" versions. Fast,<br>stable, and updatable. Google for "Puppy Linux". But... Little Ham
<br>software available for that version the last time I looked (3 months ago)<br>Again, all the usual stuff works fine, it even found a way past our company<br>proxy/firewall all by itself. Even Windows can't do that without help!...

<br>Subject: Re: [aprssig] KNOPPIX and XASTIR<br><br><br><br>Not to steal this thread, but does anyone have some<br>tips for installing XASTIR on Mandrake 8.1? Better<br>yet, is there some way to "live update" Mandrake to a
<br>Mandriva kernel and then install from there? I have<br>attempted an "apt-get" with no luck. It actually<br>tells me that it doesn't recognize apt-get as a valid<br>command.<br><br>I am in NO WAY handy with Linux. I just recently
<br>dusted off this copy of 8.1 and installed it on a<br>spare machine. I went ahead and installed every<br>package available on the CD, hoping that I might<br>actually be able to do somthing with it. It seems<br>like everytime I try to play with Linux, a couple of
<br>days later I want to throw the computer through the<br>wall. So, I give up and go play with somthing else.<br><br>Jason KE4NYV<br>RPC Electronics<br><a href="http://www.rpc-electronics.com">www.rpc-electronics.com</a>
