Re: FPAC and Fedora8

["Neville Cross" <neville@guegue.com>]

Hello Bernard,

I just checked my kernel and it turn out to be: 2.6.24.4-64.fc8

And I did not used your packages, I have installed the packages that were
ready for install from the fedora repository.

I did the compilation once, but I was looking to test a more user friendly
way to share with colleagues that are not as able in computing or do not
speak English. Not that I am that good at computer or English.

I am a bit afraid of compiling a new kernel version, as this may get in
the way for regular updates. This is not really an issue for an Ax25
discussion, so I will go to my Fedora community for support and get back
to the list in a day or two with the kernel and packages ready.

By the way, I found very easy to follow the MINI-HOWTO for FPAC.

Thanks
