[App_rpt-users] RAT_RC1.img errata

[Steve Zingman]

Alan,
Yes, I did not enable firsttime on the RPi. I'll fix it soon. For now:
touch /etc/asterisk/firsttime

I'll look at pcf.sh

The one way audio is interesting. I need to add apt-get update and 
apt-get upgrade to the first boot.

Thanks for the patch to firsttime. I merged it.

Steve
