Re: [Asterisk-Users] FYI: Simple Small Asterisk install..
Thanks Dorian for the response. Guess you are using Gentoo as any other flavor on fully loaded mode. Though its nice to know Asterisk performs well on Gentoo too, it would be great to see if any customized installation has been made for asterisk, to get it in a min. resource/full throttle mode. i am up such a system this weekend. will share my thoughts once i get it to work.

Of course, it would probably be better if you are using a IDE emulator to do something like cramfs or whatever succeeded it to make a compressed and RO FS that is then able to run from the flash instead of eating up ram. Basically, you would be taking a chapter from the PDA people. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Hi, you can boot with your favourite bootloader. I boot with pxe over the network or with syslinux from a 32mb compact flash card usually. Make sure you add "root=/dev/ram initrd=image.gz" to your kernel append line. regards kapejod -- Klaus-Peter Junghanns CEO,CTO Junghanns.NET GmbH Breite Strasse 13 - 12167 Berlin - Germany fon:+49 30 79705392 fax:+49 30 79705391 iaxtel: 1-700-157-8753 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.junghanns.net/asterisk > I know this may seem like a dumb question, how do you run the system > from the gzipped file? got any links to info? > > Guess I need to get to know liinux better.. :) > > Later.. > > ___ > Asterisk-Users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
