Thanks Lonnie; I may have to just use the images on the website, as I really
am not understanding what toolchain/build has done - where is the image to
install?

The only downside will be I will be back on using asterisk 1.4 instead of
asterisk 1.6, which was the whole point of doing the custom build.

There is a way to directly create a .img file, but I'll defer to others for
that.

What I would suggest is to first download the latest (currently 0.7.2)
Install image (.img.gz) for your target, write to a CF card and follow the
instructions to create a working setup with asterisk 1.4 (currently).

== Then option 1 ==
In your build system, after a successful build for the 0.7 branch, you will
see two files:

astlinux-0.7-4300.tar.gz
astlinux-0.7-4300.tar.gz.sha1

The "4300" corresponds to the current SVN rev.

Then copy these two files to the "/oldroot/cdrom/os/" directory of your
system and update the 'ver' file...

$ echo "astlinux-0.7-4300" > /oldroot/cdrom/os/ver

to match your new build.  You will be good to go.

OR...
== Then option 2 == (my personal choice)
There is an ever better way, IMHO if you build your own custom images.

Create your own private HTTP repository for your custom images.  On any web
server ("server.local" for example) create a directory ("firmware" for
example).  Then in the firmware directory create a directory corresponding
to your target, ie alix, net5501, geni586, geni586-serial, etc.

Place your two files plus the 'ver' ("astlinux-0.7-4300") file...
---
astlinux-0.7-4300.tar.gz
astlinux-0.7-4300.tar.gz.sha1
ver
---
into the server.local's /firmware/net5501/ directory (for the net5501
target)

Then from the astlinux command line type:

$ upgrade-run-image check http://server.local/firmware

if all looks good, then upgrade with 

$ upgrade-run-image upgrade http://server.local/firmware

The web interface (System tab) can be used instead of the command line if
desired, I do.
