Thanks!! I'll give this a shot! If it works great! otherwise I *was* planning on starting over from scratch with the latest ACID iso. & having to re-do everything... which in itself would get me familiar with all the new stuff.. So I'll be doing that anyway on the home system. :-) Just would be nice to be able to upgrade the in-service field systems :-) without all the work & dragging the service monitor out there etc. -Steve
you might just do the equivilant of an install from latest SVN. see:
https://allstarlink.org/support.html#astupgrade
In other words, download the tarball onto some sort of portable media, then follow the rest of the steps referenced above using the downloaded media on the portable drive.
you will also need to make sure the curl development package is installed (I dont think it was being done that long ago).

Hi, I have a couple of boxes that are out at tower sites WITHOUT any type of Internet access.. I can go out there for a day with my cell/EVDO Internet access and get these boxes on the Internet temporarily.
Being that they are 1 and 1.5 year OLD installs of ACID I'm wondering if there is a *quick* way via scripts or already existing method of bringing these systems up-to-date without having to re-align all of the radio settings having to re-write the config files etc.
I figure things have changed enough in 1.5 years (usb naming) & the like that I really am going to need to pull the hardware take it back to base and re-do from scratch..
The old systems have some kind of what I *think* is a software bug where the repeater frequently goes into some kind of unplanned repeat disable mode for 30-60 seconds especially after recieving a 'noisey' signal.. We've just been living with the problem for a long time because I know I need to try again with software that is up to date which may fix the issue.
