The image is available at http://luno.org/node/66, however it's a pretty slow download. Right now, it's available as a torrent, but all seeds except mine are no longer available. I'm going to suggest NOT downloading it, if all you want are the scripts.
I'll be breaking out three things from the image and making them available shortly: 1. The package list from Xubuntu - it took several tries to keep things unbroken when peeling off supposedly unneeded packages from the distro. There may be more that can be pared down, but I haven't yet found it. 2. The configure script (pending N0RPM's permission). This is the "Xastir for dummies" assistant that makes proper station setup as simple as selecting the site name and clicking "Go!". 3. The update script. I want to work toward an eventual "Event Selector" model, where multiple states can use the same Xastir/Xubuntu image. After installing, the user would initially select which event they were participating in, and thereafter, updates would come from whatever URL was specified for that event - allowing coordinators for each event to specify maps for pre-loading, configuration presets, etc. I'm going to chat with Jason, N0RPM, tonight about releasing his script for general use. I should have the smaller bits uploaded in a day or two. I'll post a follow-up to the list when these are available. Caveat: If you *do* decide it's worth it to download >600Mb just to get 1Mb worth of scripts, be sure to run the Get Update script - its first move is to update itself! You won't see the most current scripts unless you do this.
