ACID on Mac
by George Zolla 12 Mar '12

Anyone tried ACID on Mac? I was going to try dual boot but it looks like ACID doesn't give you that option so I was going to use ACID to wipe the HD and install Allstar on a Mac mini. I already have the URI; the mini and URI make a nice small footprint. Funny, but when I went to tried to install on the Mac min the ACID screen came up but it wouldn't accept the enter key.

I have to disagree. I have heard Jim and Steve say that you can't run app_rpt in a VM. I have been running a hub in a VMware ESX VM for the last 2 years. No, I don't use any audio hardware but it's been working as a hub just fine. I do not use Acid or any other canned distro. I "roll my own" under Debian. Right now under Etch and moving to Squeeze when I get a chance. Remember, your mileage may vary, but it works for me. 73, Steve N4IRS > Message: 3 > Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2012 10:31:25 -0800 > From: Jim Duuuude<telesistant(a)hotmail.com> > To:<gazolla(a)san.rr.com>, app_rpt mailing list > <app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org> > Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] ACID on VMware > Message-ID:<BLU155-W459A68362F4F7C1C5DE486B1550(a)phx.gbl> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > > Well, as with you, I have some things I might want to have/find that are in > a similar category: > > 1.

Modify ACID Kickstart file
by George Zolla 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

I am trying to install AllStar on a VMWare Centos partition. Centos 5.8 is installed and working well. I have looked at the ACID kickstart file (ks.cfg) and wonder if it could be modified slightly to fetch the scripts from dl.allstarlink.org without repartioning the disk and installing CentOS.

AllStar on Full CentOS
by George Zolla 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

I have failed in my attempt to install ACID on my MacOS VMare. However I was able to successfully install a full version of CentOS 5.8 in VMware. I am hoping to decipher the scripts in the ACID to figure out how to run the AllStar instillation from inside the full installation of CentOS. has anyone done this? Thanks, George

ACID on VMware
by George Zolla 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

I want to run AllStar on a Virtual partition using VMware on a MacOS 10.6.8. I have just installed Ubuntu successfully on VMware on the MacOS. When I create a new virtual partition using the ACID disk everything starts OK; the systems sees CentOS and starts installing it but after a couple of minutes it asks for disc 2. As I understand it the ACID uses just a minimal base install of CentOS and that everything that is needed is included in the one ACID located at: http://stats.allstarlink.org/dl/ . Hs anyone had any success install AllStar using the ACID? Thanks.

ACID/VMWare on Mac
by George Zolla 10 Mar '12

Thanks for the response on my earlier question on ACID/VMware on a Mac. To follow that up, has anyone successfully installed ACID on a MacOS as a dual boot on the HD? I would like at least to have one partition on the disk with MacOS. Thanks, George

Hooking up a TS-480 as a remote base.
by Bryan D. Boyle 05 Mar '12

Anyone attempted this particular combo? Any pointers, or thoughts? Just brought one up on the HF side of the house, and, ruminating over how to interface, how to control, how to...in general. I also picked up the 'remoterig' hardware solution, which I haven't explored getting going yet, but, since the 480 does have a separate faceplate, it seemed the best way of going to have a remote in my office via the 4G hotspot on my system here through a wireless bridge etc. Indecision about the best way to have access to my HF rig back at the house is the key to flexibility...:) I'll crawl back in the hole now... -- Bryan In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.
