Cees,
Although I detect a tone of disrespect in your reply, which I
think is uncalled for among amateurs, I will answer seriously.
To answer your point, no, the normal sysadmin work is not too difficult;
although as the CTO of a tech company, I generally have other people do
it. But if it WERE too difficult, I would assume you would be happy to
help, as I would be happy to help too.
Now, I have the previous version, namely 7.03, because that is the last
one I can find on the fbb site "last versions" page as source. As far as
I can see, 7.04 is only available as rpm. And I am assuming
http://www.f6fbb.org/ is the authoritative source. If I am misreading the
site or just not looking right, please tell me where I can find 7.04
source and I'll go download it!
73,
Michael VA3MVW
