Yup...<br>
I guess I left out the most important fact responsible for the error message, which is the OS on the NetBook is Debian Squeeze v6, to which doing a major update to is not an option.<br>
Have tried installing the latest version of Chirp under that, but there are just too many errors in compile making that not feasible. And since there is no .Deb distribution package available, compiling source is the only option.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That was my main reason for becoming interested in a LiveBoot application on a USB stick, to bypass all that hassle.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I have managed to create the Ubuntu based TharPuppy stick to boot from, so now perhaps I'll be able to install the latest version of Chirp for Ubuntu.<br>
And the problem would be solved...</p>
<p dir="ltr">I was thinking that if someone here had built a RAM boot/run image specifically for (with) Chirp, it might save me some time.<br>
Shame on me for wanting to save time, and not duplicate efforts done by another already...</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'll just schlog along on my own and see how things turn out.<br><br></p>
