i've got asterisk running on a soekris image which is only 10MB on flash, 
and takes up 16MB when expanded to a ramfs. however, the soekris boxes come 
with 64MB, which doesnt leave much usable RAM left.

lo,

If you are using dhcp for the test box then login and type

dhcpcd

then to start ssh...

sshd

to change your password...

passwd

You need to copy the password files back to the cf so that it'll be copied back
at boot. To mount the 3rd partition (where the configs live):

mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/cfgs

remember to umount it when you're done. There are some example configs on hda3
(hint rename the examples folder to just astlive - AFTER you edit the network 
stuff etc :D)

quick command reference:

cd = cd
cp = copy
rm = delete
ls = dir
mv = move/rename

longer command reference:

Take either centos or some other distro, cut it down to bare minimum and 
put asterisk + AMP on. Something that could be put onto a usb2.0 flash

Modern flash devices (usb, compactflash) have builtin wear leveling 
management and will last longer than you think:

Use ramdisk to store temporary files and flash to store permanent 
pbx configuration data, voicemail etc.

Done right, one could literally have a pbx on a stick. Eg a 256mb, 512mb 
or 1gb sandisk usb2.0 dongle.

Anyone done something like this yet?

Yes, I installed asterisk (Debian packages) on pebble[0] linux
on a flash drive in a VIA Eden based system.

This was one of those 800MB laptop-ide-emulating[1] flash drives, but the
full install was 127MB so you could easily install it on a 256MB usb stick
or similar.

It's useful running asterisk on a read-only distribution like that, since
it is resilient to people powering the system on and off without shutting
it down first.

[1] as in, it looks just like a laptop HDD, but is solid state internally.

Hi Dan,

I've been investigating the same thing. Try to Google for Asterisk+Soekris,
Soekris is the company (http://www.soekris.com) that makes cute little 586
class fan-less single board computers that run both Linux and FreeBSD ...

Good luck,
