Hi all,
there is new puppy beta in
http://sharon.esrac.ele.tue.nl/pub/linux/ham/pskmail/puppy
Beta 8 now includes a thin email client called 'sylpheed' which is compatible
with
pskmail.
Just burn the .iso file to a CD and boot. On my 192 MB Compaq M700 there is
7 MB left for data, and should be enough for most cases :)
As I have some problems with the remastering software the mail client has to be
configured
before first use, a proper dialogue will ask the right questions.
Mailbox name = Mailfolder.
Account = pskmail
Full name = your name
Mail address = your return mail address
Organisation = pskmail
Protocol = none (local)
SMTP server = localhost
Then set in the Common Preferences:
* Incorporate from local spool
Spool path = /root/mail/Inbox
Now the client will incorporate the mail you get via pskmail.
Still working on binding outgoing mail; use the 'new' button in pskmail for
that for now...
And you can find a nice icon in /usr/share/midi-icons (email48).
During shutdown puppy asks where to put the data, which will be loaded at next
boot time.
I have used the 'Setup->Puppu universal installer' to put the whole thing onto
a USB stick.
The smallest I could buy was 512 MB and it cost 10$.
It took me 5 minutes to generate the image on the stick, which has 134 MB left
for other stuff
after I saved the whole config to it.
Booting from the stick takes 90 seconds, shutdown 30 seconds.
The image contains pskmail version 0.5.1 and fldigi-1.37S. If there are no
severe problems
I plan to officially release this into the wild soon...
73,
Rein PA0R
