You cannot just copy the file to a blank CD, you need to write this as a disk image (windows default CD mastering tools artifically prevent this (they create an iso image internally they just dont give you the ability to write this to a disk :/ ) the md5sum is a file that contains the md5 checksum so you can make sure your download is not broken before burning. You need to get a md5 program to verify it if you dont have it. Please note that asterisk@home will *erase* everything on your primary ide drive, it does not prompt if this is ok, it just repartitions the disk, formats, and then installs. If this is unacceptable look for a 'live cd' distro that has asterisk. There are some, knopsterisk is one that comes to mind. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

These questions are probably better sent to the asterisk@home sourceforge forum, but I would have answered it over there as well. The iso is a type of cd burn (if you use Nero or Ulead read the instructions there). You don't need to install Centos first, it is installed automatically with the iso, simply burn the cd, place in drive, boot from cd and follow instructions from there. Regarding the md5 - don't worry about it, you don't need to use it, this is basically a check sum to determine if you have downloaded the cd correctly before burning.
