Tom, I'm coming to realize that! Don't think I'm quite ready to build just yet... It's been too long. Maybe when I'm back up to speed--- and have a day to lose :-) norm vk3xci On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 9:45 AM, Tom Russo wrote: > On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 09:29:12AM +1000, we recorded a bogon-comp

David, Tom, Thanks for the help. It's all coming back out the way it went in... slowly :-) No sign of icon.png for xastir on build 2.0.0-2.1ubuntu1 but no matter. Launching from the main menu with the default icon. I may get back to it when I get the rest of the Ham Radio stuff set up norm vk3x
