For the moment I'm running RH 6.0 Kernel 2.2.5 together with precompiled
AX25 utils 2.1.42a without any major problems. My FBB BBS seems to reboot
every so often but I don't know if it's related to the AX25 utils or to
the kernel. I haven't been able to get TCI/IP:ing up and running, but that
could be my own incompetence :-/
The utils won't compile from source so get the precompiled ones. They used
to be available at contrib.redhat.com under the libc6 dirctory.
BTW this is a clean install of RH 6.0 (didn't dare to upgrade my previous
5.2 installation because of the AX25 utils.
