1. If you're recommending Centos4 (and not Centos 5, or Debian), why
install from a full CD? Why not install from their simple server CD?

2. Don't install "everything". I know storage is cheap. Download time
isn't. CD downloading time isn't. Upgrading time isn't. And in fact, you
don't need more than 3 or 4 packages to install to for building
Asterisk.

3. The process leaves the system without upgrades. And specifically,
with a kernel package with known security holes. Upgrading that kernel
package later on will break zaptel.
