Chris,
I was a nooobie not long ago, and truth be told, I'm not much more than
a nooobie still. I have learned a couple of things about xastir and
using xastir.
I installed from a repository the first time. It resulted in numerous
problems. Since you can talk to the developers here and get excellent
and immediate help, it is easier for all when you are using the latest
version, which they are. So my advice is to skip the repository and
follow the How To for Fedora. These guys (on the reflector) are very
good at writing the How Tos and even better at helping you through the
install.
As a bonus, once you get the install taken care of, you will have a
great experience using xastir and have the satisfaction that you have
achieved something with Linux.
Good luck,
Rob

Hi, I don't know if I entered a root password when I loaded Fedora. I attempt to use terminal and yum command and see langpacks, presto,refresh-packagekit Adding en US to language list - that's where it quits.

Subject: Re: [Xastir] NOOOBIE with Questions
Xastir is included in the Fedora repositories. In fact, there's quite a
bit of ham stuff in Fedora now.
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Amateur_Radio_Guide/index.html
Though not always the latest available version - it's easy to install
Xastir and all it's dependencies with a simple (as root):
yum install xastir
If you want the latest development version - see the "Installation
Notes" on the Xastir Wiki for Fedora and setup the CVS version of
Xastir. Once done, it's easy to keep current. There's even a script you
can add to your cron system to automate updates via CVS.

Hello,
A friend got me started with Linux(Fedora 14). I am wanting to learn
about it for a project for this spring. Now in addition I want to use
XASTIR and need to know the tricks to manipulate the tar.gz files to get
the program up and running. I am not sure how to access the pieces of
the puzzle. I am a Microsuck PC guy familiar with APRS and now have to
learn the intricacies of XASTIR.

Thanks for any advice the list can give.
