PSKmail Puppy Client 2.0.28
This CD combines a lot of tools in one simple .iso, which needs very little configuration effort.Its main purpose is to offer a very simple way to start using the pskmail V2 client, but care has
been taken to include those programs which the average ham will need when he/she is mobile.
Next to the normal household programs you would expect on a CD like this, it contains a.o.:
- Puppy Linux 5.4.3, based on Ubuntu precise (12.04).
- A complete jPSKmail V2 client (2.0.28) with built-in modems
- The gpsd daemon with xgps for connecting a gps unit
- The zyGrib program for showing weather maps and grib files
- The gcmwin propagation forecasting and great circle maps program
- Hamlib libraries for rig control
- Flrig rigcontrol program
- Xastir for APRS operation
- For digital modes operation Fldigi-3.21.66
- For satellite operation Gpredict
- For antenna modelling Xnec2c
- For CW contesting cwdaemon and tlf from PA0R
- The excellent XDX cluster client from PG4I
- For logging the Xlog program from PG4I
Upgrade jPSKmail to 2.0.29 (rename to javapskmail.jar and drop into jpskmail directory)
Burn the image to a blank CD, and boot from it... you will need abt. 1 GB of RAM to load the CD.
To store your config data you must tell the CD where to put a save file (1GB is enough) when you
shut off for the first time. This can be on a USB stick, or in a file on your windows partition (defrag first).
By the next boot you will find all your config data are still there....
