Hello List, I am getting Asterisk set up. I am going to be installing Debian Linux on a laptop later. I would appreciate some detailed instructions on: (A) What to type into the shell to download and install Asterisk. (B) How to open the configuration files (*.conf) (C) If there is a way that I can change the configuration files remotely (SSH?). Thanks in advance. -- -Shane Blog: http://blind-geek.com/blog/ CoOwner: http://sjtechzone.com AIM: inhaddict Skype: chatter8712

Download it and slightly edit download.sh to get a newer version and to not apply any patch (just put a '#' before any line that runs 'patch'). The prereq script has already been submitted into Asterisk in http://bugs.digium.com/10523> (B) How to open the configuration files (*.conf)aptitude install vim Or maybe vim-gtk or vim-full .> (C) If there is a way that I can change the configuration files remotely (SSH?).Why do you think that there's something you can't do via ssh? ;-) asterisk -rx 'reload' # for starters -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir

It's not certified by Digium, like centos or suse. For the later, there are prebuild packages and regular updates, see: http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/network:/telephony/ An rpm -ivh on the commandline, or a search on yast will install what ever you need....
