another non intuitive system – i have created a file but the patch cables don’t appear to be complete in the visualisation having said that it seems to work – created a new patchbay with the darkice stream connectivity

spent half a day configuring the live broadcast – icecast and darkice can be installed via synaptic – then there is a bit of configuring of files required, (details in darkice folder) but not too arduous this is the URL for the stream http://81.136.203.155:7000/di_stream.mp3 in theory the same code can be used in the MOH config file mode=customapplication=/usr/local/bin/mpg123 -q -s –mono -r 8000 -f 8192 -b 0 -@ http://81.136.203.155:7000/di_stream.mp3 but

finally managed to figure out clonezilla – so i have a complete backup of the system on a separate machine – clonezilla is not user friendly!! https://clonezilla.org/
