Configuration files can now be kept in one of two directories. The search order is first ~/.echoLinux 
and then /etc/echolinux. There is now a new top level makefile. To build, change directory to the 
top level of the source tree, as user do a make and then make copy_defaults. As root 
do a make install. Be sure to edit ~/echoLinux/userdata.txt to include your call and echolink 
password.
 
With this release, source and binary RPMs are available for Redhat 9 and Fedora Core 1. 
You will need to install the xforms package before you install echolinux. It is available

If you are building from the source RPM, you will need the xforms-devel package as well. 
With the RPM packages, configuration files are stored in /etc/echolinux. Be sure to edit 
/ect/echolinux/userdata.txt to include your call and echolink password. You will find a launcher 
in main menu->internet->more internet applications to run echolinux.
