Hi Lonnie, thanks again for the clarification. Ok, sooo let's say that I managed to install, configure and setup astlinux (and asterisk) the way I want. What is the easiest way to "clone" that setup to another (IX100) device so I don't have to go through all that configuration process again? So, I'd like to create a "customized" astlinux image that I can later use on another device that has the same hardware configuration, CF size ,etc. Seb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
