Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Question on using an old PC mentioned years ago.T5700
I finally got to testing the published procedure.
After having difficulty in getting the USB stick made, all worked well on both an HP 5720 AND an HP 5730
I was unable to make the stick in Windows XP with physdiskwrite. I fond another program that was SUPPOSED to work, and in fact it claimed to, but the stick failed to boot.
I am sure others might be able to do better. The current website only mentions W7 and newer, not XP perhaps that was the difficulty
I was able to make the USB properly in Linux, so I moved forward.
The current version with Asterisk 11.8.1 installed without a hitch, and if it isn't already, the instruction page probably should be published to the community at large.
Personally, I probably will continue to use my method with DSL, but that is a personal preference.
Great job with the web page!

Hi Adrian, I added a new WiKi entry for this special situation...Copy Install Image to Internal Drive - Special Case http://doc.astlinux.org/userdoc:copy-image-usb-runnix John, if you have a chance, could you give the above instructions a try and let me know if it works for you and how it compares to your DSL method.

I have a few left over previously used with an alarm project with puppy iso. I would just like to play with astlinux and try to get a couple of sip phones working home use, the T5700 I have have 512 Meg ram and 1 Gig flask, another has 512 Meg flash. What version of astlinux would work on these elderly devices?
