I believe the ISO would exceed DVD size. I guess you could really trim it down but setting up a system for someone else to use is not a trivial task. <br><br>If anyone really wants to run on Debian I have some notes on setting it up from scratch but you still need to have a more than basic understanding of Linux and Debian in particular. You would learn a lot doing this though. Patience and persistence are required! For those who want to try it here is the quick list:<br><br>1. Have a PC and drive you can dedicate<br>2. Download the Debian net installation CD (you can do this in windows)<br>3. Boot on the CD and install Debian (if gets the rest of the stuff via the Internet)<br>4. Bring up Debian and configure the system for your tastes - DHCP/static, ssh port, etc.<br>5. Download the kernel header files and other dependencies needed for compiling<br>6. Get DAHDI complete source and compile and install<br>7. Get asterisk/allstar source and compile and install<br>8. Copy over or create and configure the /etc/asterisk configuration files<br id="FontBreak"></font><font style="" face="Tahoma"><br></font><font style="" face="Tahoma">Note that in steps 6 and 7 you will without doubt get errors due to the lack of required dependencies or files in the wrong place. You need to correct the problem and start the compile over</font>. <font style="" face="Tahoma">99.99% of errors you will get are correctable with patience.</font><br><font style="" face="Tahoma"><br></font><font style="" face="Tahoma">I would be glad to answer any questions anyone might have along the way.</font><br><br><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br> </div></body>
