<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">BUT I'm totally stuck. I tried to install Xipar and it's buil</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">t</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> on such an old linux platform that it won't work on my current hardware (Atom based motherboard). so I decided to try the ACID install just to see where that gets me and I can't do that either - A</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">)</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> because I don't want to put a CD on my Atom boar</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">d, and B) even</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">though</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> I have a bootable usb stick with ACID on it, about half way</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">through</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> the install it wants to go back to a cdrom to get a file :(.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> And to make matters worse, the dl.allstarlink.org site is MIA in the etherverse.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">so as a last ditch effort, I decided to try a manual install… Well, good luck with that, I can't find any good information on doing it the hard way. And the one site that I did find needs a file again from dl.allstarlink.org.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">So…. Let me try this again with some people who may really know what's going on.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I know I can get all my hardware up with a current debian install and some ALSA driver changes for the motherboard audio. From that, how can I install the software such that I can get on the allstar link network? I already have registration information from allstar.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Or as a fall back, does anyone have a copy of the files.tar.gz file that would normally reside on the dl.allstarlink.org site? Or know what happened to that site?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I know this is probably like trying to solder 0402 SMT parts with a 70W soldering torch, but I need some direction to get me headed in</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">… I've got lots o linux experience, just none as it relates to this ROIP stuff.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Thanks in advance, any suggestions welcome.</FONT></SPAN></P>
