Has anybody tried to install * in any of these minimalist linux distros like

I have got it to install on Trustix (92MB min install) but I have moved 
to Fedora now for other reasons..

I am using * on a RH9 380Mhz AMD K6 processor (With XP100 card), as well as
Fedora Core 1 on a PII 333 Mhz machine for a couple of small SIP phone
tests. One at work, and one at home.  Things seems to be working just fine.

I made a custom fedora mini distro, something like
350 megs, including apache,php,mysql & webmin

of course installable from a cd in 20 minutes, more or less :)

at the end you have a fully working asterisk installations,
along with some basic tools like webmin and
a full webserver....

Are you going to be making this available or is it something yo created 
for inhouse use only?

So all you do is pop the CD in and install it and Asterisk is ready to go ?

And it only takes up 350 MB ?

Is there any way I could get a copy of it ??

Thanks, Paul.

Hi Victor

I'm currently working in a Linux Distro, it is  being internal alpha 
testing by my self and a couple of me my colleagues,  over the next 
couple of weeks I'm hoping to release a beta version to the asterisk 
community., I'll keep you posted via asterisk users, about its features 
as it developed.

The first to note is  Its currently a 28Mb ISO for installation with 
asterisk installed with zaptel, and lib pri

this includes apache perl PHP, and Mysql

I will be producing a web site  I post the address when it is ready

Regards
Robb

Is there anything in apache thats actually NEEDED?  Perhaps a nice straight
forward "boa" web server can be used?  It would also be nice to have a
super scaled down dedicated box that would rely on a 2nd box for the database,
web support, and such, thus you're fully dedicating the machine to just *. 
I guess it depends how many phones you want to run, and how streamlined the
machine/os needs to be.

As a side note, I've used "MeshAP", which is a wireless mesh
server box that runs on a small scaled down linux distro.  It has X, web
browser, webcam server, and a bunch of networking type stuff, and it is around
28 meg as well.  You can actually boot from CD, and a unique ID derived from the
machine, and the box gets it config via http, and runs without needing write
access to the drive.

Too bad theres not alot of hardware support for FreeBSD, we'd probably just
need a couple of megs.  A "fully functioning" base system would only
be 1.44 meg.

Yes !!
My Asterisk is working by the spec of the P2 average.

I run Debian 3.0, testing branch on my P-133 / 16 meg Asterisk Super 
Server. ;)

Did a base install and then added some additional stuff to get 
compilations working. Total install peaks is about 98 megs. Works great. 
Been stable since installation.
