I am thinking about creating an "asterisk-specific" Linux (I am soo tired of installing fedora core (1.3GB)) What are the minimum software requirements to A) compile and B) run Asterisk ? I was thinking along the lines of having a chroot somewhere on one of my Linux machines where I could compile and build not only asterisk, but the kernel and other related stuff. This "build" would be packaged as an image capable of booting from a USB / CD Rom or even tftp server. I *am* a total newbie when talking about this stuff, so please, no flames - It's just an idea.

Great idea what's even better the work has already done the work for you - google asterisk live. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Asterisk Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 1:52 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: [Asterisk-Users] What would be needed ..

My asterisk boxes are minimal slackware installs (500M, I could trim a lot out of that but haven't needed to) and I have a slack9.1 build environment on a USB hdd that I chroot to, cvs up, make new packages for and then push the packages out. Piece of cake.> I *am* a total newbie when talking about this stuff, so please, no flames - > It's just an idea.It's a great idea and works very well. -A.
