Welcome! > 1) So my first question is how do I do a keyword > search of the ALL or any of the list archives, so > often the same questions get asked... The best I've been able to do is Google for "site:lists.digium.com [asterisk-users] keyword". The list info page has an archive (http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users) but it isn't great. You'll find that Google has seen quite a few [asterisk-users] list archives of the asterisk-users list as well. > 2) I feel certain that once I am over the first few > speed bumps, I can start cranking out dialplans, heck > if I can write real-time process control code in > fortran in the 80's... Did you extract your download using tar and gunzip? Usually the permissons on ./configure are set correctly. It sounds like it isn't executable, if you're already running as root. Try 'chmod +x configure' to mark it executable, then try again. > 3) I have reviewed the Digium classes, bootcamp etc > and although they would all be a shotgun fix, I really > think 20 hours or less of another user's time would > get me where I want to be. I've heard people like the bootcamp, but I know nothing of it. Freenode IRC's #asterisk is a good place to ping people with the kinds of questions it sounds like you want to ask :). > 4) I am new, if I am in the wrong place, please, > gently show me the door/where I chould be. I'd recommend not replying to your daily digest e-mail if you want a new post. Some threading newsreaders might not like that, or so I've heard. But you're doing great so far; good luck!
