Hi All, I've read J.R. Richardson's paper "Create an Embedded Asterisk Server" which outlines making a Debian server that boots from a compressed disc image on a CF card. I'm really interested in this as I want my * server to be more like an appliance than a PC. However, the paper is only an outline and some of the processes of pruning the installation down to a minimum are beyond my Linux skills. That being the case, and CF cards being bigger and cheaper every month, does anyone have an experience building a server that simply boots from a 512 MB or 1 GB CF card? Is that big enough?

Is that big enough?It really depends on what you want to do, are you thinking of storing voicemail on the CF? The above link is to install onto a 64mb CF card (can be used on bigger cards too if required) Andy
