I have an Asterisknow.org CD. When I boot up, it seems ready for me to choose update, console, etc. I'm assuming I need to do something at the CLI prompt. Is there a tutorial that would take me from loading CD to making first test call? Computer is Dell Optiplex GX260 50GB free disk space 1.5GB RAM P4 processor external mic speakers Skype is on board, and would be good to use it, if possible. If I want to use Skype, do I need anything additional? Would it be better to install CD on my hard drive? Any help appreciated. Tom
Let me see if I get you: you inserted the installation CD, then you restarted the computer, and now you want to know what to do next?

But then, I gladly admit to being a command line weenie.
