Hmmm..... I sympathise about the fork!, but nevertheless its a damned shame :-/ Well..... my dilema is quite simple - I can't run another PC in the house for economic / environmental / fan noise / RF noise / CoWC (*) reasons ( theres allready 6 running 24/7!! plus at least 4 others , plus windows mobile devices ) However, I do have a second stand alone Linux server not running asterisk in the same DMZ, but theres so much else going on with that box (apache / proftpd / terrabyte+ NAS, virtualisation, webcams, skype gateway, and so on ) that theres no way I can trash it and reinstall ACID - WAYYY too much work. Is there a "build from scratch" readme in the SVN checkout please ? I just want to ensure I have the "make" order right Anyone had any success running ACID with a USB sound fob under virtualisation ? I know other asterisk distros had sound stability problems running virtualised? Many thanks in advance 73 'CQU (*) CoWC = Certificate of Wife Compliance ;-) No virus found in this outgoing message.
