The purpose of the astlinux.config is to have a known good starting point. The packages selected in there are what gets built into the standard images. The purpose is to copy astlinux.config to .config, then do a make oldconfig, followed by a make menuconfig... > Actually, considering how long Astlinux has been out there and its success, > I'm surprised that there's nothing in the Documentation section > (http://www.astlinux.org/node/27), not even a basic HOWTO on how to compile > Astlinux... which would keep newbies like me bothering you guys in the > mailing list :-) There is some older documentation on the voip-info wiki.

Once that works, add packages from there. Make sure that everything is clean. Do an rm -rf on the toolchain_build_i586 and build_i586 directories. Do svn update, then start over using the astlinux.config for your starting point. > Thanks for the tip.

I use CentOS5 or Fedora 8 for my builds. If you have documented which specific packages are needed and want to put that together, it would be helpful to some people.
