Using cheapbytes.com
by Chad Nelson 27 Nov '02

Hello All, Has anyone used cheapbytes and what is a "workalike"? For example they advertise a Workalike for Red Hat 8.0, is this red hat 8.0 with just the names in the ad changed for legal reasons or is this a distro with an 8.0 colection of goodies. Thanks for any help. Chad Nelson KD7FDU Boise Id U.S.A

Hi all. I wonder if anyone has experienced a kernel panic with kernel 2.4.17 & suse8pro. The system has been configured for smtp/pop3/nntp/dns/FBB etc etc. It runs for approx 10 days then throws a kernel panic. Any ideas. Ian G6VEY

Packet radio w/o TNC
by Robert Mulder 13 Nov '02

13 Nov '02

Hi all, Can anybody tell me where I can get decent information about how to setup a packet radio station without using a TNC? I use a Pentium III computer with a Soundblaster compatible soundcard, and read in the AX-25 howto that this configuration is well enough. My transceiver is a Multi 750-E. I'm basically looking for hardware schematics and the software requirements. Thanks in advance for your answers.

AX25 problems
by Mark Harloff KB2TXP 13 Nov '02

I am running 2.4.0-4GB and trying to get the AX25 package running with one KISS port (for now). When I try to start ax25 from a terminal (modprobe ax25) I get the following error: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.0-4GB/modules.dep This was after I edited the ax25d.conf and axports files and did a clean reboot. - Mark

Installing TLF Logging Program
by Fancher, Mark (GEAE) 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

I'm new to Linux. I would like to install a logging program for Linux. I found TLF here: http://home.iae.nl/users/reinc/tlfdoc.html Instructions say: * Unzip the tarball (e.g. gunzip tlf-0.7.4.tar.gz). * Untar the archive (e.g. tar xvf tlf-0.7.4.tar) * cd into the top directory (cd tlf-0.7.4) * type ./configure (if you want to use hamlib, type ./configure --enable-hamlib, install hamlib first...) * type make * type make install When I type 'make' I get an error. I tried to learn more about make with 'man make' but no entries were in the manual. I'm thinking SuSE doesn't use a make command? Would probably be easier with an rpm file, but its not. Does anyone know of a good logger with an rpm available? Not only would I like to have a logging program on Linux, but I would also like to learn how to install software. Can anyone help? Thanks! Mark
