style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace">The install process for beginners goes like
this:</SPAN>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace">1. Buy a URI (recommended) or a cheap USB
sound FOB</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace">2. Go on the Allstar web site. Request an
ID, get it approved.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace">3. Download the ACID iso and burn a CD.
</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace">4. Make your ID a sysOp, add a server,
request a node(s).</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace">5. Configure the server and assigned
node(s).</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace">6. Boot the CD and carefully follow the
prompts. </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace">Expect to repeat steps 5 and 6 many times.
It takes a while to sort it all out, stick to it. </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace">After you get the hang of the web install
you can venture into the world of Linux and editing the conf files for advanced
power user features. For example there is no web configuration for RTCMs
but you can start with a URI config and hand modify. The change is actually
pretty simple.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace">Speaking of simple, for you cheap ass hams
that want to run $80 computers don't do USBradio, use simpleUSB and wire up COR
and PL.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace">If you want to run Limey Linux rather than
CentOS (ACID) you'll need to learn dd (it's available for Windows) to write a CF
card. There are a couple of other tricks to Limey, like svcfg. Beginners should
drop ACID first, it's the gateway drug to Limey.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace">Be sure to read through all the links on the
Allstar (<A href="https://allstarlink.org/">https://allstarlink.org/</A>) site
BEFORE you login. Because after login the menu changes and much (if not all) of
the basic information goes away. Also browse the ohnosec (<A
href="http://ohnosec.org/drupal/">http://ohnosec.org/drupal/</A>) site. You
don't need an ID to read this site.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: monospace">PS - ohnosec, that moment you realize you
really screwed up.<BR>
