I have successfully installed the two versions of 0.5 provided to me, making a change along the way to the install process. The Generic i586 version installed on several HP Thin Clients. Neither was labeled trunk, however. I believe all the trunk flavors are Asterisk 1.4 The genunion script provided creates the unionfs but doesn't create all the files in /mnt/kd, so I took a version from trunk and ran that to create all the files and directories necessary. I also installed the excellent alternate web interface, and have a working system. Actually several working systems. We have a bunch of telephone collectors scattered throughout North America and elsewhere who have formed a collectors network that ties our antique switches together in a network, and many are using full blown Asterisk on a variety of flavors of Linux, and many different versions of Asterisk, but most are on a 1.2 version. Changes and defects in the 1.4 versions throughout its life have caused many to stay with something that works, rather than always having to have the latest and greatest.
Versions of asterisk earlier than the very latest 1.4.21.x probably should not be used at all. 1.4.13 through at least 1.4.19 have ENUM broken, which in the case of the collectors network is a necessity. Others have been unable to get the " shared line appearance" to work properly or at all. Just two issues we have encountered. Not sure what is meant by: > The 0.5 images do not have all the code to do the "auto" recognition of > the unionfs partition. > The systems I have built seem to not suffer at all. There are a few error messages that scroll by the console at boot time, but I have no real way to capture those, and all works when it is finished. I have runnix on the 128 meg partition, and the rest of a 512 or 1gig CF as a linux ext2. Both 0.5 - 1682 and 1924 install and work. I also have one thin client with a TDM400 card installed and working. Probably more than you all wanted to know about Asterisk 1.2 Thanks to everyone for their knowledge and hard work put into this project as well as the alternate web interface.
