[FADCA] Linux FPAC on CD - status report

I have successfully re-mastered the Knoppix AFU (version 3.7) CD and 
have been reducing the ISO package. The original ISO was approx
698 Mb in size. With the added ax25 packages it went over 700.
This makes it too large for a CD!

The goal was to reduce the size of the ISO image so that it would fit 
onto a CD. I set a target of 650 to make it fit onto the old CD-RW disks 
that I am using. After dumping Open Office, Mozilla, SAMBA and a bunch 
of "other stuff" I got it down to a 586Mb image. I burned that to a CD.

The burned CD boots & contains the ax25 modules and the FPAC, Telpac and 
FBB BBS files. It should install to HD w/o any pbm, but I lost the ax25 
configuration script somewhere in the process.

Once I have a CD that boots "live" and has ALL the needed files I'll 
install it to a HD and see what havoc that will cause.
