Installing AsteriskNOW
Posted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 5:54 pm
My first post on the forum, hope you guys can help....here goes.....
I've downloaded an ISO for AsteriskNOW 1.7.1 from asterisk.org in the hope that this can be installed on a newly-purchased Fit-PC2.
Am I 'safe' to install this (from bootable USB drive for example) and will it give me a working Asterisk system, or is it going to end up getting messy as it tries to install a different Linux?
I'm a Linux newbie so the idea of a fully packaged install for Asterisk (to run phone system in our new office) was very appealing, onto a Fit-PC2 to give us a quiet, robust phone system. But the last thing I want to do is try it out, only to find it renders our Fit-PC2 unusable or having to rebuild the o/s by hand.
If necessary we'll do it the hard way, installing the various bits of Asterisk and related packages. If anyone has up-to-date info on how to do that for the current version of Mint (i.e. not links to 5 year old info or other Linux distros unless it really hasn't changed) that would be helpful.
TIA
David
