[App_rpt-users] [Bulk] Getting to know App-Rpt all over again.

[Tony KT9AC]

I was successful in getting XIPPR to install on my HP T5710 yesterday, 
with an automated net install. Was not having any luck with ACID, Limey 
or even CentOS 5.9/6.3 minimal installs (it couldn't find the install 
images on the USB thumb drive used for booting). I upgraded the 512MB 
flash chip with a Transcend 8GB compact flash and adapter like how 
Ramesh talked about a few weeks ago. I disabled swap and added "noatime" 
in /etc/fstab to help the CF extend its life.

XIPPR took about four hours to install but runs very well with a DMK URI 
and includes web-based administration tools. It is a very nice distro, 
but a little behind in MDC1200 capability that I need. My C programming 
skills will be challenged for sure.
