It's really super-simple to get that far. There are even little win32 apps that will allow you to change the default boot language, etc. The next step is much harder. The documentation is inside the compressed file system on the KNOPPIX disc. I'll have to open that up, change it, and respin the compressed file system in order to change the docs. Not terribly difficult, just time consuming.
Ah, ok. I had thought that changing the default language would be like that too. Glad to hear there are apps to do it.
This is definitely the way to go. There should be documentation w/ the software on how to adapt said cable - if not, well that's the beauty of open source. The answer is right there, when you compile it. :)
Ok, I'll work on getting that together.
APRS would be neat, but will we be able to get a GPS signal indoors?
Well, the example program they were running at the meeting didn't have a GPSr connected to it. Instead, it was receiving APRS packets and displaying information on a local map. I was thinking we could run something like Xastir and do something similar. It could even track my vehicle, which should hopefully be equipped with a TinyTrak at that point. (er, assuming they aren't wanting to use the same radio. :-)
