[Dxspider-support] DXSpider Installation

[brucebel]

Roger 

With Slackware 10.2, all the needed files are on disc 3,
with only ax25-utils missing.
Each of these will install the correct files to correct places and works 
wonderfully,
but you'll still need to download  lastest DXSpider software.

>node-0.3.0.tar.gz that I have downloaded but not
>installed. Should I have done?

>Sorry for the dumb questions - looking forward to some
