Hi David;
But why in Dahdi there is a kernel package and tool package while in zaptel
there were not such thing, we were download zaptel only. Why they separated
them in Dahdi?
Now, regarding to compilation and installation:
1) Why when using the complete package, I do not need to do the ./configure
while I need to do this if I am trying to compile and install the dahdi-tools?
2) Why I need to write make all when I am trying to compile and install the
dahdi-linux-complete? In other words, why to use make all and does not use make
only?
Regards
Bilal
