Yeruult,

        1)  There are some efforts to get unicall into AstLinux.  Bruno has 
mentioned it, and Darrick Hartman has been working on getting the 
required libraries for spandsp (a major unicall dependency) working. 
Once this is done, it should be trivial to add support for unicall.

        2)  The AstLinux ISO installs AstLinux on hdd using physdiskwrite from 
Windows.  As of now, the install only supports writing out the image to 
disk.  Once this is done, you can run fdisk and add a partition as large 
as you like that can be used as a keydisk.  AstLinux does not make your 
hard disk smaller.

        3)  AstLinux is a Linux distro.  However, it has goals that are 
different from most other distros.  There are several small Linux 
distros out there that use packages (little versions of Debian, Pebble 
for instance).  I started AstLinux because none of them seemed 
integrated or stable enough for production use as a phone system 
appliance.  All of the software that you mentioned is either available 
now or can be added with enough effort.  However, it sounds like you 
might be happier (and better served) with a more general purpose distro 
that uses packages.
