Future version of the install will use apt-get (which someone could not make work either)
This should reduce the time required to install ASL. This will also provide a simple upgrade path as needed.

Been watching this thread for a bit. Funnily enough I have/have had
exactly the same problem installing the SAME iso that has previously
been working fine. Stuck at " Reading state information" just assumed it
was something my end. Installed debian 9 and used the new apt repository
to install allstar and all good.

After spending two weeks in total off and on working on the
installation of dial via the iso files provided by the
allstarlink.org website wiki. I have finally gotten a clean
installation in a VM.. I am posting this VM public for everyone to be
able to download in the event you can't get allstarlink installed..
The password is the default usernaame: repeater password: allstarlink
Just as listed in the wiki.. I also posted the iso files as well.. I
still think this was a scripting issue some where and I think that we
need to be much more careful in how we handle allstarlink stable
distro in the future.. We need to make sure that Stable is Stable and
create test versions rather than make random changes.. I am thankful
and grateful for everyones help during this entire problem however if
i was some one that wasn't familiar with linux i would have given up
by now for sure.. Their is no excuse for failed installations with a
stable iso. Below will be the links to where i have stored these for
everyone's download just as a just in case basis..
Here is what i think happened.. I think that either a script was mis
typed for some reason or file extensions didn't match during
installation on the second boot duration as seen in my video here..
https://youtu.be/WKkEg-EEyNc It seemed to get stuck during the second
boot where typically it would install allstarlink and do its thing.. I
am not a huge fan of over the internet installations for the project
however i understand why we have been doing it.. From time to time I
think we should get together and store full iso images for
installation on sites with no network or limited internet access..
Here is a link to the iso i got to work..
http://voipham.com/downloads/allstar-firmware-8.7.1-amd64-i386-netinst/
Here is a VM ready to import
http://voipham.com/downloads/Debian%208.7.1-amd64-i386-VirtualBox.zip
Lets hope this doesn't happen in the future..

Please lets be more careful from here on out..
