Hello - I'm (VERY) new to the mailing list. And after seeing some of the postings here, I can also see that I'm also VERY new to the Asterisk game. - WOW! I can see this'll take a while to 'catch up' (if that ever happens). You folks have enough room for one more to play? Without boring a lot of you & trying to practice a little - 'user-list-etiquitte', I'll keep this short. I just got my dev-kit & am trying to get Asterisk compiled & running on a Slack-10.0 box (2.4.26 kernel). - Reason is that I have 7-8 yrs experience on Slack & little with R/H & none with Fedora. - Besides, the docs with 'cutesy' little CD that came with the dev-kit don't match up with the Fedora release levels that are on line today. - Decided to give up & go back to slack-10.0 (since 2.4.26 is 'somewhat' supported). If there's anybody out there that's done something similar on a slack box, I'd like to talk to you. If I'm posting in the wrong place, I'm sorry. - Could somebody please steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advance. Gary

There's really nothing to it. If you have any specific questions just ask. -A.

We have several Slack 10 boxes in production. In fact it is the recommended distro of our astGUIclient project. We even have a full Install-from-scratch document on our project website: http://astguiclient.sourceforge.net/scratch_install.html But no matter which distro you use it is always best to install Asterisk from source.

So long as all the libraries and kernel sources are installed, I don't see why there would be a problem building Asterisk. The zaptel startup scripts won't necessarily work with slackware, but it's easy to roll your own. What specific problems are you having? Cam
