A couple weeks ago I wanted to try out TrixBox (the new name for Asterisk@Home). As far as I understand it’s supposed to be a BDI for Asterisk. I still don’t like their installer - the instructions on their site don’t match the instructions you get when you boot from the disc. When the disc boots, it looks just like the normal installer for Fedora Core or CentOS. The screen says you can pass parameters to the kernel at boot. I usually use the line “linux ide=nodma” to avoid some issue with my hard drive controller or drives that slows things down. So I did the same thing here. And I got a familiar Anaconda Installer. This is the same path I went down with Asterisk@Home and never got anywhere. That’s because there are packages listed on the installer screens that can’t be installed.
