Re: Xfbb7.04h rpm install on Suse9.1 Pro

Thanks for the explanation Joerg and thanks also for
your hard work on keeping the Suse Ham section
updated.
The change of tree causes a problem for the fbbconf
program that new users might want for first setting up
fbb.conf config file. As mentioned in my note, I ended
up just editing the sample file instead. So we could
drop fbbconf since we used to edit by hand anyway.

I will look at changing my tree back to /var/lib/ax25.

FYI in part 2 of my report on FBB7.04 with Suse9.1 I
will describe how I managed to get ax25 and netrom
working on the radio ports so that my BBS now has
telnet, ax25 and netrom with the node(0.30) using all
the components from SUSE9.1 DVD.
My FBB BBS has been running now for 3 days continuous
using telnet and netrom (RF) fwding and no problems.


The missing piece is the startup code that was called
rc.ax25 or other such scripts to load the kissattach,
nrattach etc.
More on that soon as I clean up my documentation.
The only part I don't use is AXIP as I have no need
for that.

73,
