Re: [Xastir] How to...
I'll give this a try Curt, had not thought about multiple Xastir's running. I really want to be able to track the first and last rider plus the bulk of the riders all at the same time on the same screen and keep the screen showing for that group (zoomed to fit). Add it to the dream list I guess... lol. Something that goes along with this would be the ability to have the summary window for each of these stations open too, something that shows their current lat/long, speed, altitude, etc. I know I can display the information screen (and do) but it's a lot more than needed and in anything but an easy to use UI. Thanks. guys for all you do.

I'm sorry I didn't mean to make it sound like that wasn't a good idea it is. In this particular situation it's just not the best way to do it is all. I am in fact doing that right now, it just would work better the other way is all. Thanks. On Sep 7, 2008, at 9:38 AM, Gerry Creager wrote: The tactcial callsign usage will work for a bike ride.

Assuming that it was installed to standard locations: To delete all of the per-user information, to into the home directory for each user and type: rm -rf .xastir The current locations for installing the executables and associated files are: /usr/local/bin (xastir/xastir_udp_client/callpass) /usr/local/man/man1/xastir.1 /usr/local/lib/xastir/* /usr/local/share/xastir/* The maps will be in /usr/local/share/xastir/maps. You might also have put things in the "Counties", "fcc", "GNIS", and "sounds" directories that you wish to keep. So... Start deleting things in the above directories listed, but be careful in the /usr/local/share/xastir/ area. That said, there's usually no reason to delete anything. Newer Xastir installs should replace important files. I never feel the need to delete before an install, and I'm fairly sure I do more installs than anyone else on the planet. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.

Look in the xastir/scripts directory for "fcc-get". If you have "wget" already installed this script will go get the RAC and FCC databases and install them for you. Do "less fcc-get" and you'll see that you need to run it as root (so that it can install the files once they're downloaded). -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
