This is the latest version of Centos4. However, why would you use
Centos4 on a new installation?

If you want Centos, go with Centos 5 (now at 5.3).

You install bison, which is no longer required to build Asterisk.

You install Zaptel, but DAHDI is now the "latest version of Zaptel".
Zaptel is now frozen and has not been updated for quite some time.

You set the /usr/src/linux-2.4 symlink , which is a pointless old piece
of woodoo. Can you point me to the place in the documentation that
pointed you to it?

(Not to mention that the whole messing with kernels is so bad in Centos.
It is not better in SUSE, where you have to install the full kernel
source to build Zaptel / DAHDI).


Next: no need to run 'make clean' before running ./configure. It is
mearly pointless.

'make menuselelct' is something you normally don't need to run, unless
you know you want to remove things. In other words: don't let it
needlessly complicate your installation instructions.
