DECnet for Linux updated to run on latest Linux kernel (After DECnet code was removed from kernel 6.1)
README.DECnet
- Detailed instructions for downloading and installing DECnet on a Linux system.
BuildAndInstall.sh
- Shell script which automates most of the process of installing DECnet on a Linux system:
-
Create a working directory on the target system and make that the current directory
-
Copy BuildAndInstall.sh to this directory and make it executable
-
Execute the shell script, answer the questions and wait for a new kernel and DECnet utilities to be built (It may take a long time depending on the system configuration)
-
If BuildAndInstall.sh detects that your installation uses systemd it will create 3 service entries; one to change the MAC address of the Ethernet/Wireless LAN interface, the second to load the decnet modules and start it running and the third to start the phone daemon running.
-
If your installation does not use systemd, there are some mechansisms described in the RaspbianDECnet repository about how to get DECnet started (the module name has changed for this respository - "decnet3")
