impaired to use Chirp, they will need a Linux using Python 2X, and an old Chirp
that will install into it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Personally, I've not ever gotten a package of Chirp
to be able to install right from downloading a Linux package, I rely on using
apt to get Chirp from a repository.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I had to follow step by step instruction to get
Chirp to install into a newer Linux with Python 3, and I found after all that
that flatpak breaks accessibility.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So rather than putting someone through all that,
I'm sure there are folks who would gladly download a big file that they can rite
to a drive and boot it up and have Chirp working.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>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?</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>CHIRP is 20-40 megabytes, a full GUI install of Ubuntu is measured
in gigabytes.<BR><BR>

<DIV>Yes, installing a 3rd party package (Chirp) and distributing a VM image
of it can be considered 'modification'.</DIV>

<DIV>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distributing, and supporting a VM image of what is now outdated and no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the software is outdated, the best solution is to keep up.<BR></DIV><BR>
