With the latest release of SUSE Linux 10.1, the libax25 rpm is no longer 
shipped on the CD's.  This means that the current 10.0 ham radio files will 
fail dependencies.  To solve this temporarily, until Joerg Reuter, DL1BKE 
has a chance to rebuild the Ham project for 10.1, I have created an 
installation source and iso image combining the 10.0 Ham Radio rpm's along 
with the 10.0 libax25 rpm's.

The iso is available at 
ftp://ftp.w1nr.net/suse-ham/SUSE-Linux-10.1-Ham-i386.iso.

With this you can create a CD image and use it as an add-on or installation 
source.  Also available is the installation tree at 
ftp://ftp.w1nr.net/suse-ham/10.1-i386/.  I would suggest that you use the 
iso or copy the directory tree to your local disk and use it from there.  My 
server does not have a lot of upload bandwidth (640k) so be patient it 
transfers seem slow.

I have only done some simple tests so far.   It looks like this kernel is 
working with mkiss again.  The new YaST does complain about the archive not 
being "signed".  Getting my personal key into your trusted sources for YaST 
is not a simple matter, so just ignore the warnings or turn them off.  If 
you have any problems, I'll see what I can do but I guarantee nothing!  Use 
these files at your own risk!
