    Hello -

    Thank you for taking time to read my message. I started fooling around
    with AX25 about
    6 months ago and just finally got it working this weekend. What kept
    the whole thing from
    working was some "syntax" errors in the "node.conf" file. Some of the
    parameter values
    needed to have some of the letters capitalized ie "ConnTimeout" instead
    of "conntimeout"
    and so on. Those errors were present as examples of what working files
    should look
    like. Since I am new to Linux AX25 it was impossible to recognize those
    mistakes in
    advance. My configuration is still a little screwed up but AX25 and the
    Linuxnode both
    are working! I now need to move on to XFBB.

    I know that this mailing list is not really intended for FBB questions
    but I am in hopes that
    you will just "look the other way" and answer my simple question if you
    can. I want to
    install the full X-Windows vershion of Linux FBB. The tarball that I
    have is:

    x700e_full.tgz

    The README file gives some simple instructions on how to install it ie:

    1) Un-tar it in a specific place.
    2) Instructions on how to install it ... "run ./install.sh" and
    answer the questions.
    3) Edit the init.srv and port.sys files .... etc.
    4) Then run it with the "./xfbb.sh" command.

    What I get is that stupid "Unknown return value 127" error. I have been
    told that XFBB
    has to be compiled. If so there is no makefile that comes with it, or
    any instructions on
    how to compile it.

    Any suggestions that you might have to point me in the right direction
    would be greatly
    appreciated. If my questions are stupid, then please excuse me for
    being stupid. I just
    need to get beyond this FBB problem and get my stuff online!

    Regards,

    Bill KJ6EO
