Builds from osurce but hides its build scripts. Good luck with fixing bugs there. > trixbox A binary distriubtion. > astlinux Builds everything from scratch.

For instance, you can find my version of the bristuff build tarball at http://updates.xorcom.com/astribank/bristuff/1.4/ http://updates.xorcom.com/astribank/bristuff/1.4/bristuff-0.4.0-RC4-xr5.tar.gz Check INSTALL.html / INSTALL for instructions. To fit your model, run: ./download.sh copy the resulting directory to a CD / USB key, install the system, and on the target system run from that same tarball: ./prereq.sh ./compile.sh # also installs everything With a bit of work it would work well on your favourite distribution (and make it run automatically at the end of the installer) > Ideally, I would like to be able to mount an .iso file, chroot into it, > and update / compile / build whatever I need before burning the iso > file.

If you package it into packages: yes. If not: yes, but you don't really want it. You should be able to adapt your installation to different environments, and not only to the specific partition size and colletion of devices that happened to be used where you installed. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tzafrir _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
