Well, lets see. I had to include the source code as it does not have the 
Makefile's under /lib/modules. Then you add a link from the source 
dir /usr/src/linux2.6.8-xxx.mdk whatever, to /usr/src/linux-2.6.

I think I had to get the mpg program that works with * from elsewhere.

Mostly I use a script szmidt.org/asterisk/asterisk-update.sh (also on wiki) to 
download compile etc. It creates the symlink, does backup and so on for you. 

It was very straight forward otherwise. I used the custom option and verified 
all pgms were included.

The reason I chose it was because of it's very simple and does an excellent 
job locking down the box. I have it face the Internet on one side and then 
another NIC for phones on the internal side.

It's been running just fine since 10.0 came out.
