I finally got my IRLP node fully functional, now it's time to move on to allstar, etc.

BUT I'm totally stuck. I tried to install Xipar and it's built 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) because I don't want to put a CD on my Atom board, and B) even though I have a bootable usb stick with ACID on it, about half way through the install it wants to go back to a cdrom to get a file :(. And to make matters worse, the dl.allstarlink.org site is MIA in the etherverse.

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.

So…. Let me try this again with some people who may really know what's going on.

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.

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?

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… I've got lots o linux experience, just none as it relates to this ROIP stuff.

Thanks in advance, any suggestions welcome.
