[App_rpt-users] Regarding Dial installation..

[Loren Tedford]

After spending two weeks in total off and on working on the installation 
of dial via the iso files provided by the allstarlink.org  website wiki. 
I have finally  gotten a clean installation in a VM.. I am posting this 
VM public for everyone to be able to download in the event you can't get 
allstarlink installed.. The password is the default usernaame: repeater 
password: allstarlink Just as listed in the wiki.. I also posted the iso 
files as well.. I still think this was a scripting issue some where and 
I think that we need to be much more careful in how we handle 
allstarlink stable distro in the future.. We need to make sure that 
Stable is Stable and create test versions rather than make random 
changes.. I am thankful and grateful for everyones help during this 
entire problem however if i was some one that wasn't familiar with linux 
i would have given up by now for sure..  Their is no excuse for failed 
installations with a stable iso. Below will be the links to where i have 
stored these for everyone's download just as a just in case basis..

Here is what i think happened.. I think that either a script was mis 
typed for some reason or file extensions didn't match during 
installation on the second boot duration as seen in my video here.. 
https://youtu.be/WKkEg-EEyNc It seemed to get stuck during the second 
boot where typically it would install allstarlink and do its thing.. I 
am not a huge fan of over the internet installations for the project 
however i understand why we have been doing it.. From time to time I 
think we should get together and store full iso images for installation 
on sites with no network or limited internet access..


Here is a link to the iso i got to work..

Here is a VM ready to import

Lets hope this doesn't happen in the future..
