Hi Matt, If you have a good base knowledge of Unix/Linux it should not be difficult at all.. However, I have records of someone else at UNC-A running the LDM. I have: University of North Carolina at Asheville vortex.atms.unca.edu Contact: Leigh Orf address@hidden 828-232-5159 I suggest you contact Leigh to see if it is still running. We feed only one machine per/campus to avoid chewing up bandwidth. "Fully Qualified Hostname" = the machine name you intend to run the LDM on.. Good luck and let me know how/if you want to proceed.. Cheers, -Jeff ____________________________ _____________________ Jeff Weber address@hidden Unidata Support PH:303-497-8676 COMET Case Study Library FX:303-497-8690 University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 ________________________________________ ______________________ On Sat, 22 Feb 2003, Matt Rosier wrote: > I'm a meteorology student at UNC Asheville and want to set up GEMPAK on one > of > our weather lab computers running Linux.
