I too have asked questions here concerning DIAL and been told curtly to go elsewhere. As DIAL distros have all the files included and interface to the FOBs and SBCs, where do we draw the line? I have followed all instructions for installing the software and had fresh boot problems. It was hard to tell where the problem was, but when I am new to Linux/DIAL and the whole Allstar project, I looked for guidance where I found discussions. There is an Allstar Link community on Google+, and you will see I have all except 1 postings! Crickets......... Perhaps the moderator/users here could post a list of URLs for different aspects of AllStar Link so us Newbies would know where to hang out. I have had GREAT support from other listers here by direct email after each post and I sincerely thank all who have taken an interest in someone who has to learn as we all do. 73, Duane KA1LM #42996
