While not a complete how-to guide, I did do a short write up on my website earlier this year for compiling it under Debian Etch, I have updated the scripts for Lenny, but haven't taken the chance to update my wiki yet:

http://www.k1lnx.net/wiki/index.php/App_RPT/TIARA

This will take a plain vanilla Debian Lenny install and install Asterisk/APP_RPT, Echolink, etc.

As Steve pointed out, the best thing to do is look at the install scripts that ship with the ACID distribuition if you want to tweak things or compile it under another flavor of linux, this is what I based my own scripts off of. You can see all of the files here:

Hope that helps.... 73

I'm running a hub (Node 2100) under VMWare ESX with no problems.
I have no sound hardware on the VM, so I can't comment on sound issues.
It's running on Debian 5.0 (Lenny)

For a "roll your own" readme, I would suggest a place to start is the
ACID scripts.
I'll be out of town for a few weeks. When I get back I'll post my
install script for Debian.
