9) Voila! The Fluxbuntu serial port issues are gone! I know this is the coward's way out but the Fluxbuntu group can't believe that there is a problem with the serial ports and even though the Xastir is just a v.1.4.1 it works and works very well on the old computer when it is in Fluxbox. NOTE that it works in KDE but it is unmercifully slow.
It's not a coward's way out... It's whatever works! I'd sure like to know what the solution was to your original configuration though. FWIW: I have a P133 truck-mount touch-screen system that has a 6.4GB hard drive and I think 64MB of memory. I put an earlier version of SuSE on there with a custom kernel tweak to make it work. Ran fine with topo maps or Tiger Shapefiles in my Jeep. I filled up the drive with maps pretty quickly though. -- 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.
