1. Sound files are likely the biggest issue.

2. DAHDI installs all firmwares by default, find what you need and
remove the rest.

3. Config files are mostly white space use this.

#Removes beginning and ending white space
sed -i 's/^[ \t]*//;s/[ \t]*$//' /etc/asterisk/*.conf

#Deletes empty lines
sed -i '/^$/d' /etc/asterisk/*.conf

#Adds a line return above a [
sed -i '/^\[/{x;p;x;}' /etc/asterisk/*.conf

# Deletes comments that starts with ; at the beginning of a line
sed -i '/^\;/d' /etc/asterisk/*.conf

# Deletes comments after the ; at any place
sed -i 's/;.*//' /etc/asterisk/*.conf
