Thanks for all the information.

I probably will not be able to build my own images, but for my purposes the 1.2 version works. quite a few members of the Collectors Network worldwide are using various versions of 1.2 as well, not wanting to struggle with the many changes required to migrate to 1.4.

know many consider Asterisk 1.2 obsolete, but I set up an HP Thin Client with the version ( 1682? ) provided sometime ago, and have a question or two.

The genunion script appears to work OK, but there was no follow on as with later offerings to generate the keydisk. I did that as a separate step, then installed the next to latest version of the alternate web interface, and all seems happy I am still a little confused as to what may or may not be marked read only though. I wanted to delete the g729 sound files, and /var/lib/asterisk/sounds seems to be read only.
Should I be somewhere else? I also want to add some sound files.

Someday I might start to understand the layout, but for now I have to continue to ask stupid questions.

John,

That is really an old release and many things have changed. Several things have changed in trunk and have not been back ported to 0.5. Our development resources are spread pretty thin. I personally haven't used a 1.2 release in at least 4 months. For us to release a 0.5 image at this point, all of the security fixes from trunk would need to be back ported to the 0.5 branch. I can't say that it's on the top of my priority list. It should be updated to incorporate many of the latest change in trunk, then only touched for security issues.

As far as the sound files go, they are in the squashfs image. You can't gain any space by attempting to delete these files. If you have unionfs, it will add "white out" flags for each of these files, but they still will be taking up space on the disk. Bottom line, unless you build your own images, you really can't delete these files.

Official images will contain ulaw and g729 core sound files. If you build your own image, you can specify which sounds to include.
