Hai out there,
I am using Kernel 2.0.35 on our Linux Mailbox (BayCom Mailbox) DB0EIN-15. The
Box is connected to kernel ax25 using a kiss interface, not the ax25 support
of the baybox itself. The hardware on the radio side is a BayCom USCC card.
The system runs TCP/IP as well (http access to a web server and to the
mailbox). I am running a similar configuration with my laptop and my
"standard" computer (as far as the linux version goes), except they use AX25
via my ethernet to talk to the radio world using the Mailbox as router. This
far everything is clear. But:
All systems run SuSE 5.x without glibc. As I would like to be able to use
glibc support sooner or later I am a little bit in a conflict on how to
update and which distribution to use. I already made tests with kernel 2.2.6
on my laptop using the old ax25 utils. This works except some funny output
while setting up the network - but it seems not to have affected
functionality. PR is done with XPR on the laptop.
Although it might be a bit off topic but what is the best way to upgrade? Is
it possible to add glibc support to the old system as everything else (gtk+,
kernel 2.2.x) is either already up and running or could be easily compiled?
Regards,
Uwe - DG3OW
