Re: [chirp_users] New chirp-next build

[Ken Hansen]

Shipping a complete Ubuntu installation in a VM just to have CHIRP pre-installed seems a bit of over-kill. Typically a single line command would install CHIRP, wouldn't it? CHIRP is 20-40 megabytes, a full GUI install of Ubuntu is measured in gigabytes.

I may DD my thumb drive with Ubuntu and Chirp on it, if I can find a drive with just that on it, and give a link to anyone who wants it. Some of my thumb drives are multiboot, with several operating systems on it, so I'll need to go through a bunch of them to find one that has Ubuntu 18 and Chirp.   Glenn   ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Lopez To: Discussion of CHIRP Sent: Monday, January 02, 2023 7:22 PM Subject: Re: [chirp_users] New chirp-next build I can't imagine anyone here wants to be responsible for setting up, distributing, and supporting a VM image of what is now outdated and no longer supported software. I know I wouldn't want to be. There's a reason the software is outdated, the best solution is to keep up.

I am sure I have an old Ubuntu Live on a thumb drive with Chirp on it, but I don't know if that can be made into a VM.
