Hi Ralph,
Ok, was there a live installer shortcut on the desktop?
draklive-install is the live installer and I did not include that on the
first discs. I was afraid that someones PC might get messed up and so I
didn't include it. It should not matter whatever you have on that
machine prior to installing, if the live installer is there then you
will be able to repartition and set up the server the way you want it
(you should see a wizard).
You can setup whatever network settings you want through drakconf
("Configure your computer"). Look for that within the configuration
menu. You do not need a fixed ip to run a pskmail server. If you have a
mailserver and you wish that other servers should be able to pop from it
then you could use something like dyndns to have a domainname for it.
Regarding modes its at the moment all the applicable modes that fldigi
supports or MIL-STD-188-110A by using RFSM2400 (with two soundcards at
the moment). I have only used either fldigi or RFSM2400 tied to pskmail
and I have not switched between those on a running system. I guess we
could do that but that would mean some additional work. What happens
when you run two soundcard applications at the same time ?
The server here uses fldigi and switches between dominoex8, psk63 and
psk125. Right now I think psk125 is the best mode but we could use some
more testing there.
Regarding autostart I would like that too. Trouble is that the
application is not a daemon so I guess you could do that by selecting
autologon for a user and save a default session that contains what is
needed for pskmail. We should discuss that some more.
