You'll want some way to keep CDR records if you need them. I wouldn't replace the IDE drive for VM with a CF as you might run into a CF failure to due excessive writes per sector. It seems CFs are good for something on the order of 10k writes per sector, a number that might be deceptively easy to achieve. Now, booting from CF and writing CDR back once (or a few times) per day might be a worthwhile solution while using a remote * or disk for VM. Of course an IBM 1 GB Microdrive is on the order of $175 or so and would provide the ability to run the OS, * and VM all from disk without worry or kludge. sl _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
