Hi all,

I have updated the client version of the live cd. It now has fldigi as
well as gmfsk, updated xdx, an offline version of the pskmail wiki,
updated pskmail client and a live > HD installer. I managed to squeeze
that in 335 MB. You can download it from:

This client cd version is still based upon Mandriva 2006. I am working
hard to get a 2007 version instead but I wanted to update the client cd
quickly to get a version that has fldigi and PSK125.

As I mentioned 2007 I must say that I am beginning to consider looking
for another distro to base further efforts upon. There are tools around
for creating live distros with Mandriva, problem is that they are all
broken for 2007. So, has anyone any favourite distro that is easy to
create a good live distro from ?

Known issues with this iso:
You have to switch off the TX as after the boot there is a nice
'fanfare' causing qrm on the frequency (forgot to turn it off).

The current kernel is not happy on some centrinos, kernel upgrade breaks
stuff so I'm saving that change for 2007 or another base distro...
