[Asterisk-Users] Booting * from CF

[Michael Graves]

Hi All,

I've read J.R. Richardson's paper "Create an Embedded Asterisk Server"
which outlines making a Debian server that boots from a compressed disc
image on a CF card. I'm really interested in this as I want my * server
to be more like an appliance than a PC. However, the paper is only an
outline and some of the processes of pruning the installation down to a
minimum are beyond my Linux skills. 

That being the case, and CF cards being bigger and cheaper every month,
does anyone have an experience building a server that simply boots from
a 512 MB or 1 GB CF card? Is that big enough?

Michael
