Lonnie,

Thanks.  The 0.4.x series of Astlinux should be considered beta at this 
point.  There are a bunch of things that need to be cleaned up and or 
fixed.  Since Astlinux is now registered as a sourceforge project, it 
would be helpful to have bugs tracked there.  If you wouldn't mind, 
could you put these items in the bug tracker?  I have a branch that I've 
built off the 191 rev from the trunk in svn.  I'm making some changes in 
that branch, then porting them back to the trunk when things are worked out.

Since uclibc does not work with zoneinfo, we need to find out how 
Asterisk is getting the zone information.  Long term, it may be better 
to fix/patch that rather than hacking in support for zoneinfo.  Short of 
that, it should be possible to build the zoneinfo stuff linked to uclibc.

Since these are binaries and build on glibc, probably not.

This is possibly due to another network service (such as ntp) hanging.  
I believe Kris switched to openntp from ntp.  I've been having some 
issues with openntp so I am in the process of building an image with ntp 
instead.

I agree that 0.3.0 just plain works.  With only Kris doing development 
work in the past, it was a HUGE undertaking to migrate to the new build 
environment.  The runnix idea, while great in theory, should probably be 
held up until we have a 0.4x version that is as rock solid as versions 
built on the old build environment were. 

In anycase, please continue to test and report back to the list.  I'll 
see what I can do about looking at the timezone issues, because that is 
something that could be a problem.  For the time being, you could set 
the machine where localtime==UTC.
